Product description
This print captures the somber intensity of the 1958 Seagram Mural period, featuring two large, soft-edged rectangular forms that appear to float within a deep, wine-colored field. The composition relies on the interplay of dark charcoal and obsidian against the rich red base, creating a sense of depth that draws the viewer into its meditative layers.
The artwork evokes a profound sense of introspection and quiet drama. Created during a pivotal era in the artist’s career, it shifts away from the brighter palettes of earlier years toward a more contemplative and architectural exploration of space. It carries an emotional weight that feels both grounded and ethereal, inviting long moments of observation where the colors seem to shift and vibrate against one another.
It earns its spot in a wall of mid century modern art, with abstract art prints making an easy companion.
