About
An abstract, acrylic painting by Adolph Gottlieb. "Blue on Black" is an abstract, acrylic on paper laid on canvas painting executed in a dark palette with primary red and blue by Post War artist Adolph Gottlieb. "Blue on Black" depicts an abstracted blue flower, below a deep red circle, on a dark ground. "Blue on Black" is from Gottlieb's patented 'Burst' series that allowed him to greatly simplify his use of imagery. Paintings of this sort are considered to be "Imaginary Landscapes." Signed lower right, "Adolph Gottlieb 1970."
