Mint condition // Jean Cassau by Mark Tobey is a limited edition lithograph featuring a dense, intricate pattern of organic forms. Dominated by a deep, rich maroon hue, the print has a textured, almost tactile quality, with delicate layers and variations in tone that invite close inspection. The repeated abstract shapes suggest a sense of rhythmic motion and energy, characteristic of Tobey's interest in Eastern calligraphy and meditative abstraction. This piece, part of a portfolio titled Jean Casseau, demonstrates Tobey's signature style, blending fine, dynamic marks with a contemplative, all-over composition that draws the viewer into its depth.

What is abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
