Untitled (Berkeley)
1955
This abstract composition employs a restrained palette of whites, grays, and blacks to create a dynamic interplay of geometric and organic forms. Curved and angular lines intersect across the canvas, suggesting fragmented architectural or mechanical elements rendered in a distinctly gestural manner. The painting balances areas of dense brushwork with moments of restraint, creating visual rhythm through the careful arrangement of positive and negative space. The overall effect is reminiscent of urban landscapes or interior spaces viewed through an abstracted lens.
