Description
Lively abstract expressionist painting by Henry Putney, circa 1960s. The mid century painting appears as if it may be an image of deconstructed flowers. There is no distinct form, only a feeling of familiarity that forms the viewer’s narrative. A large amorphic plume of white and yellow moves across a field of indigo. This yellow and white vector can be perceived as some sort of botanical element being liberated from its host. A jettisoned leaf, perhaps. At lower right, an undulating aquamarine mass intimates a blooming flower. The painting is acrylic on canvas board, signed by artist “Henry Putney.” We have several more pieces from Putney.
