Watercolor on paper, mounted on masonite. Signed on Front, also Signed, Dated and inscribed on reverse. Paul Jenkins’ Untitled (1960) exemplifies his signature style of lyrical abstraction through the use of flowing watercolor. The composition is a delicate interplay of translucent layers in purples, oranges, reds, and soft whites, creating a sense of motion and spontaneity. Jenkins was known for his controlled pouring technique, guiding pigment with intuition and gravity rather than the brush, resulting in organic forms that feel both spiritual and atmospheric. This small-scale work retains his meditative, expressive power and is signed both on the front and reverse, with additional date and inscription.

What is lyrical abstraction ?
Lyrical abstraction is a descriptive term characterizing a type of abstract painting closely related to Abstract Expressionism, in use from the 1940s to the present. The term can also describe two distinct but related trends in post-World War II modernist painting. This art movement originated in Paris, France, after the war, emphasizing personal expression, spontaneity, and the emotional use of color and form.
