“With Orange” is an abstract artwork created by Sam Gilliam, an artist associated with the Lyrical Abstraction art movement. The artwork exemplifies the abstract genre through its unconventional composition and use of color.
The artwork features a complex arrangement of geometric shapes and color fields. Dominated by hues of orange, beige, and muted tones, the composition is divided into several sections, each with a distinct texture and pattern. The centerpiece is a large rectangular field of orange, surrounded by marbled swathes of color that blend smoothly into one another. Each segment of the artwork contributes to a cohesive whole, creating a dynamic yet balanced arrangement. The visual elements appear to float and shift, emphasizing the fluid and expressive nature typical of Lyrical Abstraction.
