This vintage work demonstrates a dynamic interplay of texture, form, and color through the use of layered handmade papers, collage, and gestural elements.
Tomlin, often remembered for his lyrical abstractions and his associations with contemporaries such as Jackson Pollock and Ad Reinhardt, created works that balanced spontaneity with structure. This piece embodies those qualities, with its earthy tones, subtle variations of surface, and restrained yet expressive movement across the composition. The layered, torn, and crumpled papers add depth and dimension, while scattered flecks of white and black create rhythmic accents that draw the eye.

The work is signed " TOMLIN " in the lower right and presented in its original mid-century frame with linen matting and metallic trim, enhancing its period authenticity.
