The artwork titled “WS Dec 27, 1965 SF,” created by William Saroyan in 1965, belongs to the Abstract Expressionism art movement and falls under the abstract genre.
The artwork features a collection of dark, blotchy, splatter-like forms scattered across a light background. The irregular, organic shapes are reminiscent of ink blots, suggestive of spontaneity and a dynamic process of creation. The artist’s hand-written inscriptions, presumably his initials and the date of creation, “WS Dec 27, 1965 SF,” are present at the bottom of the artwork, rendered in a matching dark hue. The overall composition adheres to the principles of Abstract Expressionism, emphasizing emotion and a sense of immediacy through non-representational forms.
