The artwork, titled “1947-R-No. 1,” was created by the artist Clyfford Still in the year 1947. Rendered in oil, this piece is a part of the Abstract Expressionism movement. It measures 175 x 165 cm and falls under the genre of abstract art.
The artwork features a dominant red hue, characterized by rugged, textured surfaces that evoke a strong sense of movement and depth. There are striking patches of black interspersed irregularly throughout the composition, creating a dramatic contrast against the vivid red background. Smaller touches of yellow and white punctuate the canvas, adding further dynamism to the piece. The artist’s bold and expressive application of paint epitomizes the larger-than-life, emotional intensity often associated with Abstract Expressionism.
