...MOINS.....
Gottlieb était un membre de la première génération des Expressionnistes abstraits. "Blue on Black" est tiré de sa série "Burst", qui est sa marque de fabrique. Comme d'autres artistes Ab Ex, dont Pollock, qui se sont installés dans leur style à la fin de leur carrière, ce n'est qu'en 1956 que Gottlieb s'est concentré sur ces peintures éclatées.

Cette peinture met en valeur le lyrisme qu'il a trouvé dans les peintures "éclatées" en simplifiant la couleur et la forme. Dans cette peinture, les formes et les couleurs s'unissent pour produire une harmonie et une profondeur dans le paysage visuel de la toile. 56 expositions individuelles ont été organisées au cours de la longue carrière de

Gottlieb et ses œuvres sont exposées dans plus de 140 musées à travers le monde.
