Untitled (Abstraction) 1948

James Budd Dixon's "Untitled (Abstraction)" from 1948 is a captivating example of abstract expressionism. Composed of dense, swirling lines created with graphite on paper, the piece evokes a sense of energy and movement. The lines appear to dance across the surface, creating a visual rhythm that draws the viewer in. The dark lines against the light background create a striking contrast, adding to the drama of the composition. This work reflects Dixon's interest in exploring the expressive possibilities of line and form.
