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 Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
