Triangular Fugue IV 1965

"Triangular Fugue IV," created in 1965 by John Dowell, exemplifies the artist's signature style of abstract expressionism. The work features a bold, vibrant red line dominating the composition, creating a sense of dynamic movement. Sparse, gestural brushstrokes in green and brown add a layer of depth and texture against the white background, giving the impression of a landscape or perhaps a musical score. The work invites viewers to contemplate the interplay of form, color, and line, evoking a sense of spontaneity and energy.
