Alfred Leslie

Hipped

1959

A boldly gestural abstract painting, *Hipped* showcases Alfred Leslie's mastery of expressive brushwork during his time as a leading figure of the second generation New York School. Created in 1959, the large-scale oil on canvas surges with dynamic marks, raw energy, and a commanding physicality characteristic of the Abstract Expressionist movement. The work reflects Leslie's engagement with action painting, demonstrating a confident interplay of form and movement across the canvas.
