Drawing in black and white 1962

Alekos Kontopoulos' "Drawing in black and white" is a striking example of abstract expressionism created in 1962. This monochrome artwork showcases the artist's bold and gestural approach, characterized by thick, sweeping lines and contrasting dark and light values. The piece evokes a sense of dynamism and movement, reminiscent of urban landscapes or industrial structures. Kontopoulos, known for his dynamic compositions and exploration of form, was a key figure in the post-war Greek art scene. This artwork highlights his commitment to abstract expressionism and its powerful communicative capacity.
