Alongside artists such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, Richard Pousette-Dart (1916-1992) was one of the pioneers of Abstract Expressionism - an American avant-garde movement that radically changed the development of modern painting. Like many of his colleagues, the artist intensively explored themes such as myth, archaism and indigenous spirituality. Many of his light-flooded works evoke the idea of transcendental forces, often with motifs based on the beauty of the firmament or the charged energy of luminous celestial bodies.
