Image: 24 × 18.8 in (61 × 48 cm). Sheet: 36 × 27.25 in (91 × 69 cm). Signed, dated and numbered to lower margin. Published by Marlborough Graphics, New York. Literature: Associated American Artists 73. Crimson Ground by Adolph Gottlieb is a 1972 screenprint that showcases his signature use of symbolic abstraction and color field composition. A stark white circle hovers above a smaller black dot, both suspended in a vivid crimson rectangle that dominates the print. Beneath these forms, a band of gestural black and white brushstrokes adds a dynamic, almost calligraphic energy. The contrast between the geometric simplicity of the circles and the expressive markings below reflects Gottlieb's interest in the tension between order and spontaneity. Published by Marlborough Graphics and listed in Associated American Artists 73, this work exemplifies the artist's mature visual language.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
