Grace Hartigan
December Second, 1959
"My art was always about something," Hartigan has observed about her abstract images. The title of this work (the date on which it was executed) is evocative, suggesting that it may be a response to her experiences that day. Hartigan bisected the composition with a rough horizon line, possibly an allusion to landscape, a subject popular with other New York abstract expressionists in the 1950s. |
