Timothy Knorr, Rectangular Shift, Abstract Painting

About the Item

Original Oil on Canvas, Color Field / Abstract Expressionism A striking large-scale oil on canvas titled Rectangular Shift (2007) by American artist Timothy Norr, renowned for his contributions to the Color Field and post-Abstract Expressionist movements. Norr’s work is celebrated for its meditative use of tonal layering, spatial geometry, and emotional depth through color, placing him among a generation of painters who bridged the lyrical qualities of Rothko with a structural modernist rigor. Rectangular Shift exemplifies his mature period — an elegant interplay of form and atmosphere. Subtle gradations of color and deliberate, architectural shifts in shape invite contemplation and quiet drama. The canvas pulses with a sense of visual rhythm, evoking both minimalism and complexity in a single gesture. Norr’s work has been exhibited in contemporary galleries and is held in private collections across the U.S., appreciated for its sophisticated palette and cerebral approach to abstraction. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an original work by a significant voice in modern American abstraction. Professionally stretched, ready for hanging. Presented by MWM DESIGN, curators of rare and distinctive fine art, decorative objects, and historically important furnishings for our most discerning clientele.
