About the piece
Painted in 1910, 'Xdx' is a masterful example of early modern abstraction by American artist Manierre Dawson. The piece showcases a sophisticated interplay of calligraphic lines and circular motifs, grounded by a luminous background of terracotta and ochre tones that feel both historic and strikingly contemporary.
