Lyrical Abstraction

リリカル・アブストラクション / 1947–1970s / Style / Gestural Abstraction

既不依附几何的规训，也不倚仗激烈的身体动作，而以流动的笔触与晕染的色彩构筑抒情的抽象。这一称呼生于巴黎，后来在美国也被用于薄涂与浸染的绘画。它是设计柔软与轻盈时的参照点。

辞典词条

适用场景: Covers and backgrounds where the mark must feel made by hand and weightless at once, as in poetry, chamber music or wellness；Large washes for packaging and interiors that need to avoid both the corporate mesh gradient and the heavy painterly cliche
字体: A light-weight seriffed face set small at one corner, never crossing the centre of the wash.
版面: An all-over, centreless field running past all four edges, offering the eye no anchor and no focal incident.
材料: Thinned colour on an absorbent ground, so the pigment spreads and the edge is decided by the substrate rather than by the hand.
注意: Placing one confident stroke in the middle: a centred gesture turns the field into a logo and destroys the drift the style is made of.
