Untitled (Abstraction) 20th century

This abstract etching was created by C. Coleman at an unknown date. It’s like the artist was trying to map some kind of hidden dimension, using line and shape to chart a course through an unseen world. I wonder if Coleman was thinking about the cubists while they were making this? The dark lines slash and curve, dancing across the surface in a rhythmic chaos. There's a real sense of movement here, an energy that crackles and pops with every stroke. I can imagine Coleman hunched over the plate, scratching away with focused intensity, letting their intuition guide the way. This piece feels like a conversation between the artist, the materials, and the very act of creation. A back and forth, question and answer, that keeps evolving with each mark.
