Albion Square is a 1950 watercolor by Marian Kratochwil, a abstract expressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet city scene with a few buildings and bare trees. The colors are mostly muted blues and grays, giving it a cool, misty feel. The brushstrokes are loose and sketchy, almost like a quick sketch rather than a polished drawing. The trees are tall and thin, with branches reaching out like skeletal fingers. The buildings look old and simple, blending into the background. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
