The artwork, titled “Untitled,” was created by David Smith in 1963 and is a part of the Abstract Expressionism art movement, specifically classified under the abstract genre.
The artwork features an interplay of geometric shapes against a textured backdrop. Prominent among these shapes are a red dot centrally positioned amidst white circles and rectangular forms, which hover over a horizontal beam-like structure. The background showcases a speckled gradient of dark hues contrasting with lighter shades, creating an impression of depth and motion within the composition. The deliberate use of shadow and layering conveys an energetic dynamism, which is a hallmark of Abstract Expressionism. The combination of soft textures and stark forms exemplifies the movement’s emphasis on emotional intensity and freedom of expression through abstract elements.
