A striking mid-20th century abstract expressionist painting titled Earthquake by Hilton Leech (American, 1906–1969). Executed in bold strokes of ochre, deep black, rust, and white, the work embodies the dynamic energy and gestural movement characteristic of post-war American abstraction. The dramatic layering of pigments creates both tension and rhythm, evoking a sense of seismic force that resonates with the title.
About The Artist:
Hilton Leech, a painter and educator based in Sarasota, Florida, was best known for his vibrant modernist works and his role as founder of the Hilton Leech Studio of Art. While his earlier career centered on watercolors, this rare mixed-media abstraction reveals his later exploration into more avant-garde territory.
