“Brush Action” is an abstract artwork created by Dieter Roth in 1977. This piece is associated with the Neo-Dada art movement, characterized by its experimental and avant-garde approach.
The artwork features a minimalist composition, with a large, dark, and fluid brushstroke forming an abstract shape. The brushstroke seems to loop and swirl, creating an impression of movement and spontaneity. There are also three short, bold, horizontal strokes within the larger loop, adding depth and contrast to the piece. The background is left uncluttered and primarily white, emphasizing the boldness of the brushstrokes. This simplicity allows the viewer to focus on the texture and motion conveyed by the brush action, embodying the essence of abstract expressionism within the Neo-Dada movement.
