Painting
George McNeil was an American abstract painter whose work emerged from the postwar New York School, exploring gestural abstraction through bold color and energetic brushwork. Active from the 1940s onward, he developed a distinctive approach to nonobjective painting that balanced spontaneity with compositional rigor. McNeil's practice remained rooted in abstraction throughout his career, resisting figuration and narrative in favor of pure formal investigation.
