Jack Whitten

Jack Whitten was an American abstract painter who recently just passed away this January. This particular painting, called Chinese Sincerity, caught my eye because he incorporated my favorite colors into such a beautiful art piece. He played around with not only the colors but the lines, making it look like a wave form. It looks like he divided the painting into three cuts, dark blue with red, magenta, and dark blue again. The line that looks like an L also interested me but I could not find out what significance it had but it is abstract art so it may just be because he favored it. I researched that he studied Chinese paintings and that he chose these colors because they represent traditional Chinese colors.
