Corpus Christi 1975

"Corpus Christi" (1975) by Ralston Crawford (1906-1978) is an abstract painting that depicts a close-up view of a boat's rigging against a bright blue sky. The abstract geometric forms of the ladder, ropes, and sails create a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Crawford's style. The bold use of color, particularly the bright yellow and blue, adds to the dynamic composition. Crawford was a prominent American Precisionist painter, known for his depictions of industrial and urban landscapes.
