A bold and energetic abstraction, *Montauk Highway* captures the visceral experience of movement and landscape through Hartigan's signature gestural brushwork and vivid, clashing colors. The painting pulses with the energy of the open road, merging figuration and abstraction in a way that evokes both the physical sensation of driving and the sprawling character of the American landscape. Hartigan's confident, expressive mark-making reflects her place among the first generation of Abstract Expressionists, while hinting at her growing interest in the imagery of everyday life.
