The artwork titled “New River Watercolor, Series I, #5” was created by John Cage in 1988. This piece belongs to the Abstract Expressionism art movement and falls within the abstract genre.
The artwork features a dynamic composition marked by fluid, overlapping washes of color and bold, gestural brushstrokes. Dominant hues include shades of blue, green, and earthy brown, punctuated by occasional splashes of brighter colors such as orange and yellow. The piece encapsulates a sense of motion and spontaneity, characteristic of Abstract Expressionism, with its unstructured forms and the interplay of transparent and opaque layers. The overall effect is one of complexity and vibrancy, inviting viewers to explore the visual rhythms and patterns that emerge from the seemingly chaotic arrangement of elements.
