About the Item
Anita Johnson
Untitled (Monochrome Construct), c. 1960s
Oil on illustration board
Framed dimensions: 21 in. H × 16 in. W
Presented in a contemporary black frame
In this striking black, white, and grey abstraction, Anita Johnson distills her visual language to its most essential elements—shape, gesture, and contrast. Untitled (Monochrome Construct) plays with balance and negative space, where bold, curvilinear forms overlap and intersect with painterly texture and graphic authority.
The composition feels improvisational yet deliberate, echoing the energy of mid-century printmaking and the expressive restraint of Franz Kline or Pierre Soulages. Johnson’s deft handling of dry-brush textures and crisp voids creates a rhythm that feels almost musical, pulsing across the surface in visual syncopation.
Though modest in scale, this work exerts strong presence, and its compact size makes it ideal for collectors seeking a jewel-like example of Johnson’s formal experimentation. It is tastefully mounted and framed in a matte black wood frame that emphasizes the work’s graphic clarity.
