Franz Kline

Bold black brushstrokes slash across raw white grounds in these works, built from broad gestural swipes rather than drawn lines. The palette stays stripped to black and white, with forms that read as architectural beams or crossing girders, as in "C & O". The mood is blunt, physical, and fast, action painting of mid-century American abstraction.
