Norman Bluhm — Flamberge
Norman Bluhm

Flamberge

1963

Norman Bluhm's *Flamberge* is a dynamic oil on canvas that showcases the artist's signature fusion of gestural abstraction and lyrical energy. Sweeping arcs and bold, fluid strokes surge across the composition, evoking the undulating, flame-like form of the sword suggested by the title. Rich, layered color and Bluhm's characteristic sense of physical momentum lend the work a visceral, almost theatrical presence.
