Abstract Expressionism

Large, energetic brushstrokes in green, brown, black, red, blue, and white cover portions of this abstract painting’s white background. These marks are primarily concentrated in two areas: in the top half of the canvas, especially in the center, and on its lower edge, especially in the center and toward the right corner.
