1923, Augustus Vincent Tack, Storm -- Phillips Collection (Washington)
From the museum label: Tack's pictures reveal his editing process. He reworked the surfaces of his canvas, painted over certain elements, scraped others out, and toned back bright passages. After reevaluating the canvas, he returned to it and used rollers, cloth, and sponges to sparingly apply paint. Phillips was the first to appreciate Tack's experiments with abstraction, buying the artist's breakthrough works, like Storm.
