Wotan

Story

A heavy black rectangular form sits against an open white ground, its edges blunt and emphatic. The composition relies on this sharp contrast between dark shape and pale field, with no other detail competing for attention. The work is oil on canvas mounted on Masonite, made in 1950 by Franz Kline, an American painter associated with abstract expressionism and action painting.

Where it works
