Painting
Norman Bluhm was an American abstract painter whose gestural compositions emerged from postwar American abstraction. Working primarily in oil and acrylic, he developed a dynamic, energetic approach to the canvas marked by bold brushwork and layered color fields. His practice engaged with the formal vocabulary of abstract expressionism while maintaining a distinctive lyrical sensibility.
