...WENIGER.....
Gottlieb war ein Mitglied der ersten Generation der Abstrakten Expressionisten. "Blau auf Schwarz" ist aus seiner Markenzeichenserie "Burst". Wie andere Ab-Ex-Künstler, darunter Pollock, die sich erst spät in ihrer Karriere mit ihrem charakteristischen Stil vertraut machten, konzentrierte sich Gottlieb erst 1956 auf diese "Burst"-Gemälde,

die durch die Vereinfachung von Farbe und Form den lyrischen Charakter der "Burst"-Gemälde demonstrieren. In diesem Gemälde verschmelzen die Formen und die Farbe, um Harmonie und Tiefe in der visuellen Landschaft der Leinwand zu erzeugen.

56 Einzelausstellungen haben Gottlieb während seiner langen Karriere gezeigt, und seine Werke sind in über 140 Museen auf der ganzen Welt zu sehen.
