James Alfred Forsberg — Untitled (Red Ball)
James Alfred Forsberg

Untitled (Red Ball)

This mixed media composition features a bold red sphere rendered in oil paint against a dark, textured background with linear markings. The sphere occupies the central square format, its surface animated by gestural brushwork and tonal variations that suggest dimensionality and movement. Below, horizontal striations in red and black create a grounding band, while the outer frame of neutral tones anchors the composition. The work exemplifies mid-twentieth-century abstraction's engagement with geometric form and expressive surface treatment, reflecting the visual experimentation characteristic of Cape Cod regional modernism.
