Untitled 1957

Franz Kline's "Untitled" from 1957 is a prime example of Abstract Expressionism, a movement that emerged in post-World War II America. Kline is known for his bold, black-and-white paintings characterized by sweeping brushstrokes that create a sense of energy and dynamism. This work showcases his signature style, with thick, gestural strokes of black paint against a stark white background. The composition is energetic and dynamic, with the black forms seeming to dance and interact with the white space.
