Untitled 1948

This untitled painting by Forrest Bess from 1948 showcases his signature abstract style. The work features bold, gestural brushstrokes that evoke a sense of energy and movement, particularly in the prominent rays of yellow and blue emanating from the central form. While the subject matter is not explicitly defined, the composition suggests a cosmic or celestial event, perhaps a sunrise or explosion. This piece embodies the artist’s exploration of personal symbolism and spiritual themes within his artwork.
