Brice Marden Cold Mountain etching and aquatint with dense black looping lines creating rhythmic abstract composition.

Brice Marden’s Cold Mountain (1991) is an intricate etching and aquatint that exemplifies his exploration of abstract gesture and line. The composition features a dense web of interwoven black lines, creating a rhythmic and almost calligraphic effect. Inspired by the poetry and philosophy of the Tang Dynasty poet Han Shan (known as "Cold Mountain"), Marden’s work reflects a meditative and introspective approach. The layered, looping lines suggest movement and energy, balanced by the monochromatic simplicity of the black ink on white paper. Measuring 70 x 90 cm, this limited-edition print captures the essence of Marden’s distinctive visual language, merging abstraction with poetic inspiration.

What is Gestural?

Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
