The artwork, titled “Untitled (Abstraction)” by James Brooks, created between 1946 and 1947, is an oil painting embodying the Abstract Expressionism movement. It is currently housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Dallas, Texas, USA.
“Untitled (Abstraction)” is a vivid display of abstract forms and figures. It features an array of geometric shapes interlaced with organic elements and bold colors. Predominantly, there are shades of green, deep red, mustard yellow, and muted tones forming a complex and dynamic composition. The painting is characterized by overlapping and intersecting planes that seemingly create a sense of motion and depth. An intriguing red shape sweeps across the canvas, adding a striking contrast and focal point within the dense arrangement. This work reflects Brooks’s exploration into the abstract, emphasizing the emotional and gestural qualities in line with the principles of Abstract Expressionism.
