This fine example of Hines' modernist abstraction is the first watercolor by this artist to come to auction. During the 1950s, Hines achieved critical recognition with two solo exhibitions at Parma Gallery in 1957 and 1959. Through the 1950s, he continued in this Abstract Expressionist style while working as a conservator at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
