Pure Myth 1949

"Pure Myth" is an abstract painting by American artist Perle Fine, created in 1949. The vibrant red background is intersected by vertical yellow lines and populated with a dynamic arrangement of geometric shapes in various colors, including blue, yellow, white, and grey. Fine's work often explored themes of abstraction and symbolism, inviting viewers to interpret the forms and colors in their own way. The simplicity of the shapes and the bold use of color give the painting a powerful visual impact. "Pure Myth" is representative of the abstract expressionist movement in American art.
