Oil on canvas, featuring abstract style artwork. Signed and attr. Mark Tobey (American 1890-1976), signature on lower right margin. 18 x 22 in. (45.7 x 55.9 cm). Abstract painter Mark Tobey strived to represent the mystical through art. Inspired by international travels, Eastern religion, Arabic calligraphy, classical music, and the emerging modes of Abstract Expressionism, Tobey created a unique visual language of all-over painting and gestural abstraction, which he called "white writing."
