“Longing for Community,” by Mark Tobey, created in 1973, is a lithographic artwork that belongs to the Abstract Expressionism movement and falls under the abstract genre.
The artwork presents a complex composition characterized by an intricate network of linear and curvilinear forms set against a vibrant red background. The densely packed lines create a sense of depth and movement, suggesting an organic, web-like structure. The overall effect is immersive and contemplative, inviting viewers to explore the dynamic interplay of forms and colors. The meticulous arrangement of lines reflects Tobey’s interest in portraying the interconnectedness and harmony within broader societal and cosmic contexts.
