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 late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
