“Abstract Expressionist Autumn Sky,” created by Audrey Flack in 1953, is a distinguished piece within the Abstract Expressionism movement, categorized in the abstract genre.
The artwork features a complex interplay of colors and forms that evoke the essence of an autumn sky. Dominant hues of yellow, orange, and brown are interspersed with occasional spots of dark green and deep blue, creating a vibrant and dynamic visual experience. The abstract composition lacks defined shapes, instead presenting a mosaic of interlapping color patches and jagged lines that convey a sense of movement and depth. This lively and textured arrangement captures the essence of fall foliage and an overcast sky, invoking both the chaos and beauty inherent in nature. The brushstrokes appear spontaneous yet deliberate, lending the piece an energy characteristic of Abstract Expressionism.
