An early example of Abstract Expressionism was executed in 1955 during the movement's heyday and its period of peak inventiveness. However, this work is still rooted in representation. The dark area the runs along the base of the picture is the ground and to the left, right, and center there are black structures that represent trees. The work is very tactile and is composed of globs of paint that grow out from the surface and form a thick impasto. Rich vibrant saturated blues, reds, and oranges create optical drama. In the iconic book "History of Modern Art", the famous art historian H.H. Arnason featured an Abraham Rattner opposite one of America's most important paintings, Early Sunday Morning by Edward Hopper. Today, Rattner is overlooked but the merit of his work remains.
