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 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.
