Large Mid-Century Abstract Expressionism Framed Oil on Canvas Painting

About the Item

A striking oil on canvas by Caroline Cross, this dynamic composition exemplifies the energy and gestural freedom of Abstract Expressionism. With bold, fluid strokes and a rich color palette, Cross’s work aligns with the post-war movement that reshaped the trajectory of modern art. Active during the height of the New York School, she engaged with the visual language pioneered by figures such as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and Lee Krasner. Artists who championed spontaneity, emotional depth, and an unrestrained approach to form. Signed on the verso and bearing an “Art Students League of New York” label, this piece reflects Cross’s connection to the artistic circles that defined mid-century abstraction. Housed in its original wood frame, the painting comes from the esteemed Allen Tucker Memorial Collection, further cementing its place in the legacy of post-war American art.
