Untitled c. 1950s

Franz Kline’s “Untitled” is a prime example of Abstract Expressionism, a movement that originated in the 1940s. This 1950s work depicts a white background with heavy, black brushstrokes, a signature hallmark of Kline’s work. The bold black strokes are juxtaposed with vibrant, colorful brushstrokes, creating a dynamic composition that suggests movement and energy. The artist’s bold, improvisational style is a testament to the expressive freedom characteristic of Abstract Expressionism.
