Marlin

1960

Jewel-toned blues, greens, and reds are broadly or thickly painted onto the white background of this vertically oriented abstract composition. Most of the brushstrokes are horizontal, though lighter flicks in the upper third leap through and away from the mass of color that fills the center of the canvas. Flecks and drips of paint are denser on the bottom third.
