Judith Rothschild — Io
Judith Rothschild

Io

1959

"Io" is an oil on canvas painting by American abstract artist Judith Rothschild, who was known for her geometric abstraction and color field work. The composition likely references the figure from Greek mythology while employing Rothschild's characteristic approach of bold forms and sophisticated color relationships. Created during her mature period of artistic exploration, the work exemplifies her commitment to non representational painting that emphasizes the formal properties of color, shape, and spatial composition.
