Aquatint on Twinrocker paper // Donald Sultan’s Playing Card (Four of Spades), created in 1990, is an aquatint on Twinrocker paper that combines minimalist design with a rich textural quality. The four spades are arranged in the traditional pattern and rendered in deep black, creating a stark contrast against the soft, gray-toned background. The rough texture of the aquatint adds a layer of depth to the otherwise simple composition, drawing attention to the negative space and emphasizing the handcrafted nature of the piece. The vertical handwritten inscription on the left side further personalizes the work, while the limited palette and subtle imperfections give it a quiet, contemplative atmosphere, typical of Sultan’s exploration of familiar imagery through abstract means.

What is abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
