Screenprint in colors on Arches. Signed, dated and numbered to lower edge. Published by Marlborough Graphics, Inc., New York. Literature: Associated American Artists 48. Figure Eight by Adolph Gottlieb, created in 1967, is a screenprint on Arches paper that highlights his distinct abstract vocabulary rooted in symbolism and gestural expression. Dominated by black forms set against a textured gray background, the composition features a prominent figure-eight shape—an infinity-like loop—positioned among bold, primal marks: a dot, a rectangle, an "X", and splattered ink. These elements convey an emotional immediacy and a sense of universal language, central to Gottlieb's artistic philosophy. Published by Marlborough Graphics and catalogued in Associated American Artists 48, the work reflects the artist’s mature style developed during the height of Abstract Expressionism.

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.
