Blue Flood 1960

"Blue Flood" (1960) by Ernst Wilhelm Nay is a vibrant abstract painting characterized by bold, gestural strokes and a dynamic interplay of colors. The artwork is dominated by a rich palette of blue, yellow, orange, and red, applied in thick, impasto layers, creating a sense of depth and texture. Nay's abstract style, developed in the post-World War II period, reflects his exploration of color and form, often drawing inspiration from nature and the subconscious. This painting is housed in the Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany.
