Grise was a prolific artist who was part of many of the major art movements of the mid-20th Century. He studied at the Chicago Art Institute and the Dallas Museum School of Art before coming to Southern California in the late 1940s, where he consistently exhibited his work. He was friends with several artists from the New York School, including Mark Tobey who was close to Jackson Pollock. The influences of his time are clear in his bright, fluid works.
Featuring energetic layers of color, sweeping gestural forms, and dynamic splatter techniques, this is an excellent example of Grise's depth and ability. Bold passages of red, blue, yellow, green, black, and white create a visually engaging composition with strong movement and depth. The work demonstrates Grise's distinctive spontaneous approach while maintaining a cohesive and balanced overall design.

The reverse shows an unfinished studio composition, offering an interesting glimpse into the artist's working process. It is signed in the lower right and it sold unframed as shown. Will ship boxed to preserve integrity.
