Untitled,

ca. 1946

Judith Rothschild, American, 1921–1993
2002-217
As a young artist in New York in the 1940s, Rothschild quickly developed a spare and highly original abstract style. Setting herself apart from the Abstract Expressionists, Rothschild believed that abstract painting was a response to visual experience rather than an evocation of inchoate feelings. Her predilection for a formal rigor is perfectly expressed in this piece, tautly composed of interlocking color planes, drawn lines, and bits of collage.
