“Third Letter” is a piece created in 2009 by Brice Marden, an artist associated with the Abstract Expressionism movement. This work falls under the abstract genre.
The artwork features an intricate web of meandering lines that waver and intertwine across a light-toned background. The lines are rendered in multiple colors, including shades of blue, green, and yellow, creating an energetic yet harmonious composition. These lines appear to form a tangled yet deliberate network, evoking a sense of continuous movement and fluidity. The entire composition is framed within a rectangular border, which helps to anchor the swirling forms within a prescribed space. Marden’s technique and choice of color emphasize a dynamic and contemplative aesthetic, inviting viewers to explore the abstract complexities of the piece.
