Credit LineGift of Susan SosnickSubject matterTerry Winters is an American abstract artist whose paintings in the 1980s depicted natural forms and botanical studies. In an interview from 2008 he described his early work: "For me, painting's capacity to make images through the manipulation of materials seems to be its most powerful and magical quality. How a painting is built is a big part what it means. Mark-making, gesture and touch-those are the key components as to how to generate images through painting."
Physical DescriptionThis is an oil painting in a vertical format painted in tones of brown, white and black. It shows four circular forms and areas with thick paint applied in broad brushstokes.
