Elizabeth Murray (American, 1940–2007) belongs to a generation of artists who emerged in the 1970s and whose exposure to Cubist-derived Minimalism and Surrealist-influenced Pop inspired experimentation with new modes of expression that would bridge the gap between these two historical models. In this context, Murray has produced a singularly innovative body of work. Warping, twisting, and knotting her constructed canvases, she has given the elastic shapes of classic surrealism a space in their own image.
Brightly colored shapes bounce and collide on a vibrant yellow background. This lithograph is an example of Murray's mature work. This image was used to feature Lincoln Center's celebrated Out-of-Doors festival in 2004.
