'Sexus' by Rosalind Schneider, c. 1961

A large-scale abstract expressionist composition by New York–raised artist Rosalind Schneider, dated 1961. The painting features a dynamic interplay of gestural brushwork and layered color fields in earthy ochres, deep blacks, burnt reds, and flashes of verdant green.  Signed by the artist in the lower corner, the work reflects the energetic spirit of the New York art scene during the early 1960s.
