"Natashkouan" is a 1956 abstract painting by Canadian artist Marcel Barbeau. It is characterized by a dense field of gestural brushstrokes in red, black, and gray against a white background, creating a dynamic and energetic composition. This artwork is representative of Barbeau's signature style, which is influenced by Abstract Expressionism, Tachisme, and Action Painting. The work is known for its rhythmic interplay of color and texture, suggesting movement and an active, dynamic energy.
