Lithograph in colors on Arches paper. Hand signed and dated lower left. // Germination (1969) is a lithograph in colors on Arches paper by Adolph Gottlieb, one of the key figures of Abstract Expressionism and the New York School. The work belongs to Gottlieb's celebrated Burst series, in which a luminous disc or orb hovers above a turbulent, gestural field -- a composition that reduces the tension between order and chaos, sky and earth, to its most essential opposition. In Germination, the burst form is energized and dynamic, its ruptured lower zone contrasting powerfully with the contained mass above. Signed and dated lower left, this lithograph captures the full expressive range of Gottlieb's mature language: bold, deliberate, and deeply felt. It stands as an eloquent statement of the Abstract Expressionist conviction in the power of pure form to convey universal human experience.

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.
