Attributed to Franz Josef Kline, American, 1910 to 1962, watercolor painting on paper depicting an Abstract Expressionist composition. Signed lower left. Framed. Franz Kline is known for Action, abstract expressionist painting, and teaching. Born in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, Franz Kline became one of the most prominent 20th-century American artists working in abstract and nonobjective styles. His name is most associated with large scale black and white paintings, and these linear abstractions brought him his first notable public attention in 1950 when they were shown in New York City. One of a kind artwork.
