Traverse the Blue 2 recalls the early work of Robert Motherwell, the influential American Abstract Expressionist painter. The companion of Traverse the Blue 1, this abstract composition on paper provides the viewer with a sense of depth and dimension achieved by a dense slate blue backdrop that is punctuated by a wash of smokey white and an overlay of solid bone white. The embedded scraps of newsprint lend a bit of texture to the work. In Traverse the Blue 2, the serene message of Traverse the Blue 1 disappears into a scene of chaos as the once upright form is turned on its side. A stunning addition to the exclusive Art by TA collection.
