Art: Ruth Schwarz

Excellent New York school drip painting. Titled "Tintinnebulation". Signed by Ruth Schwarz. Dated 1961. Serious early experimentions by other New York artists with Jackson Pollack’s new drip painting technique are considered rare.

In addition to the shape and thickness of the strokes, I was struck by the background of this painting. The green gives it an organic quality - almost like grass or trees are visible behind the twists of color.
