Flurry by Adolph Gottlieb (1967) — Poster

Two black ovals tumble across a white field. This is Flurry, Gottlieb’s 1967 canvas. The left oval is solid, dense; the right one bleeds at the edges, as if dissolving into the ground. Between them, a faint grid of charcoal lines holds the space in check, though the ovals seem ready to roll free. The white isn’t blank—it’s alive with the ghost of brushstrokes, a quiet hum beneath the drama. Hang it where morning light can catch the texture: above a low credenza or beside a narrow hallway.
