Untitled

Abraham Walkowitz  (American (born Russia), Tyumen 1878–1965 Brooklyn, New York)

To me, this painting is abstract because of the title, but it looks like a shark because of the teeth, the round circle of the eye, and the position of the mouth. There's a lot of negative space in this painting but you also have  a little positive space near the tip of the nose, near whatever it's eating on, and the bottom of the mouth. To me. it looks more like an outline. It does have rhythm and has both scale and proportion. It has a form of light because, to me, it shows the contour of a fish. It seems as if this picture has no balance and the focal point seems to be the teeth. I just like it because it's weird.
