About the Item
Anita Johnson
Untitled (Amber Abstraction), c. 1960s
Oil on canvas
Framed dimensions: 10.5 in. H × 12.5 in. W
Original silver-tone metal frame
In this jewel-like composition, Anita Johnson channels her gift for gestural structure and earthy luminosity into a small-format abstraction that hums with energy. Untitled (Amber Abstraction) is built from interlocking segments of ochre, goldenrod, olive, and a single, vivid burst of vermilion—each form outlined in dynamic brown linear strokes that suggest motion, containment, and underlying architecture.
Though non-representational, the painting offers organic associations—fruit forms, shells, or seed pods—filtered through Johnson’s distinctly modernist lens. Her sensitivity to spatial rhythm and color harmony is especially poignant at this scale, with the intimate surface rewarding close, contemplative viewing.
An ideal entry point for new collectors or a potent addition to an established modern collection, this piece reflects Johnson’s command of both palette and structure. It is housed in its original vintage silver-tone frame that complements the warmth of the canvas without competing for attention.
