<div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black>Painted in 1954, this "Untitled" canvas exemplifies Ray Parker’s early engagement with Abstract Expressionism, a moment when he was forging a language of bold color and gestural immediacy.

A related early abstraction, "Untitled" (1956), is in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art. "Untitled" (1954) represents a significant example of Parker’s innovative contribution to postwar American painting. </font></div>

1954年に制作されたこの「無題」のキャンバスは、レイ・パーカーが抽象表現主義と向き合った初期の作品を代表する。この時期、彼は大胆な色彩とジェスチャーの即時性という独自の表現言語を確立しつつあった。パーカーは未張りのキャンバスに直接描き、大胆で濃密な筆致で構図を構築。その筆致には即興性と即時の感覚が保たれている。形の縁は流動的なまま残され、制作プロセスの即時性が強調されている。


 


後に「シンプル・ペインティング」で最も知られるようになるパーカーだが、これらの初期作品は稀少かつ基礎的であり、抽象表現主義の生のエネルギーと、彼の成熟した様式を定義づけた形態の明快さを橋渡ししている。オークション記録が310点未満、1950年代の作品が極めて少ない中、この規模と年代のキャンバスが市場に出現することは稀である。 関連する初期抽象作品「無題」（1956年）はホイットニー美術館所蔵である。「無題」（1954年）は、戦後アメリカ絵画におけるパーカーの革新的な貢献を示す重要な作品である。
