Adolph Gottlieb — Green Ground, Blue Disk
Adolph Gottlieb

Green Ground, Blue Disk

A powerful example of Gottlieb's signature "Burst" series, this screenprint presents a luminous blue disk floating serenely above a gestural, explosive mark set against a vibrant green ground. The composition distills the tension between order and chaos, with the precise circular form contrasting sharply with the raw, energetic burst below. Gottlieb's bold use of color and reductive imagery reflects his Abstract Expressionist roots while demonstrating the unique clarity achievable through the screenprint medium.
