My favorite painting of the day

Is Franz Kline's massive 1952 canvas at the Art Institute of Chicago. It's huge, it's bold, it's the apotheosis of Ab Ex muscular grandeur. It's also subtle in really interesting ways. Typical of Kline's paintings, the blacks and whites here are not monolithic; the layers of underpainting are visible, and the artist let drips remain throughout. He left evidence of his process in this enormous composition--which might otherwise have overwhelmed the viewer with its size and scale.
