Own a piece of 20th-century American art history with this original abstract mixed media work by the distinguished New York artist Elizabeth Erlanger (1889–1975). A prominent figure in the post-war Manhattan art community, Erlanger is celebrated for her "New York School" energy and her works' inclusion in permanent museum collections, including The Met.

This captivating composition is executed in a masterful blend of pen and pastel on paper. It features Erlanger’s signature Abstract Expressionist style—bold, gestural black linework that slices through the frame with a rhythmic, muscular energy. These strikes are softened by subtle underlays of red texture, providing a sophisticated depth and "terracotta" warmth to the piece.

The artwork is hand-signed in pencil by the artist in the lower right margin. It is professionally presented in a custom gallery frame and glazed under glass, making it a ready-to-hang focal point for a Mid-Century Modern, Minimalist, or Industrial Loft interior.
