Painting
Lee Mullican was an American painter and muralist working in abstraction and surrealist-inflected figuration from the 1940s onward. His practice engaged with automatic drawing, biomorphic forms, and gestural mark-making, positioning his work within postwar abstract currents while maintaining a lyrical, often dreamlike sensibility. Mullican's approach bridged European surrealism and American gestural abstraction, with particular attention to the relationship between accident and intention in the painting process.
