It is by Judit Reigl (French (born Hungary) 1923) and was painted in 1956. It is oil on canvas. I love the power and energy contained within and transmitted through the brushstrokes. It strikes me as a form of action painting but perhaps a much more deliberate choice of actions (in terms of desired emotional result) than Pollock. It would be interesting to explore the motivation for this with pupils.
I took photogaphs of the artwork while in the museum and the basic information noted above was copied whilst there. It can also be accessed online at http://www.moma.org/m#art_main by searching the collection with the painting title.
