Untitled 1972

This untitled abstract work by Japanese artist Manabu Mabe (1924-1997) from 1972 is a prime example of his gestural and energetic style. The piece is characterized by a vibrant red background, upon which a complex network of black, white, and other colors are layered in a seemingly spontaneous manner. This dynamic interplay of lines, shapes, and colors evokes a sense of movement and energy, captivating the viewer with its abstract beauty and the artist's unique approach to composition. Mabe's work, often exploring the boundaries of abstraction and figuration, exemplifies the artistic spirit of post-war Japan.
