Seated Woman 1945 - 1948

Franz Kline's "Seated Woman" (1945-1948) is a gestural drawing that exemplifies his abstract expressionist style. The work captures the essence of a seated figure, with the artist using bold, sweeping lines to convey form and movement. Kline's use of black ink on paper creates a powerful contrast with the light background, drawing the viewer's eye to the dynamic lines and energetic composition. This drawing exemplifies Kline's characteristic reduction of the human form into a series of abstract strokes, capturing the essence of the figure through expressive lines.
