// La chaussure by Miquel Barceló, created in 1984, is a limited edition lithograph that presents an evocative and surreal composition. In the foreground, a pair of shoes sits abandoned beside an open book, both rendered in expressive black lines and bold textures. The background features swirling waves, almost like a stormy sea, suggesting a sense of movement and turmoil. The juxtaposition of these everyday objects—shoes, a book—and the dynamic force of the waves creates a dreamlike scene, inviting the viewer to ponder themes of travel, abandonment, or perhaps the passage of time. Barceló’s characteristic use of texture and contrast between light and dark enhances the emotional depth of the work.

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.
