Angel Vine 1952

Gene Davis's "Angel Vine" (1952) is a black and white ink drawing on paper featuring a dense, abstract arrangement of lines and shapes that evokes a sense of botanical growth. Davis, a prominent American Abstract Expressionist artist, explored the intersection of organic forms and geometric structures in his work, creating a dynamic visual language that reflects the interconnectedness of nature and the human experience. The fluidity of the lines and the depth of the washes suggest an organic, almost biomorphic form, reflecting Davis's early exploration of abstraction.
