The artwork, titled “Autumn,” was created by Gene Davis in 1955. It belongs to the Abstract Expressionism movement and is categorized under the figurative genre.
The artwork “Autumn” exhibits a rich, warm palette evocative of the season it is named after. The composition is dominated by a blend of earthy tones like browns, ochres, and subtle hints of reds and pinks, creating an abstract yet suggestive scene. Broad, expressive brushstrokes weave through the canvas, delineating human-like figures that almost melt into their surroundings. The figures appear to be in various postures, their forms rendered with fluid, dynamic lines that both connect and separate different parts of the scene. The overall effect is one of movement and energy, encapsulated within a harmonious and autumnal color scheme.
