“A Near Distance,” created by Perle Fine in 1961, epitomizes the Abstract Expressionism movement and belongs to the abstract genre. The artwork features a composition dominated by an intricate overlay of variously sized black and white forms, with hints of ochre and beige peeking through the fragmented structure. It appears as though parts of the surface are torn or broken, creating a dynamic interplay of geometric and irregular shapes that evoke both chaos and harmony. The juxtaposition of dark and light elements, alongside the textural variations, draws the viewer into a deeper contemplation of form and space.
