Victor Pasmore Senza Titolo (Untitled) 10, 1989 is a colorful abstraction showcasing Pasmore's unique artistic style. Famous for his enveloping organic compositions, Pasmore offers an intimate example of his print-making techniques. Using a linear quality reminiscent of topographical maps, the organic saturation of bright blue throughout work mirrors the amorphic shapes found in an ink-blot test. Behind the blue shape is a subtle, beige background. The background's delicate coloring allows the blue to truly stand out. The two colors contrast strongly yet still appear to complement each other. The floating blue dots combine to create a sense of weightlessness that draws the viewer’s eye upward and to the outer margins of the frame. It is as if Pasmore is indirectly teaching the viewer how to appreciate this work. In all, the work has a very fluid quality which is reflected in the watercolor effect of the pigmentation and the repeated wave-like pattern moving through the page. This large-scale etching is dynamic and abstract, sure to stand out in any room.
