“Embrace” demonstrates the hallmarks of Abstract Expressionism, characterized by its bold shapes and dynamic composition. The artwork features a juxtaposition of sharp, angular green forms against a background of smooth, rounded blue shapes. These elements are set on a white backdrop with the interplay of shadows, creating a sense of depth and movement within the piece. The combination of these forms creates a striking visual contrast and exemplifies the abstract nature of the genre. The balance between the geometric shapes and the fluidity of the composition reflects the expressive and spontaneous qualities typical of Lee Krasner’s oeuvre.
