The artwork, titled “Untitled” and created by the artist Jay DeFeo in 1957, belongs to the Abstract Expressionism movement and is categorized within the abstract genre.
The artwork manifests a dynamic and powerful composition, characterized by an explosion of black lines radiating from a central darkened core. These energetic lines splay outwards, creating a dramatic, starburst-like visual effect against a light background. The stark contrast between the intensity of the black lines and the subtlety of the surrounding space contributes to a sense of depth and movement, encapsulating the spontaneous and emotive essence of Abstract Expressionism.
