Image description

Although Kline’s paintings look as if they were executed in a spontaneous burst of activity, they were often painstakingly pre-planned through preliminary studies. Additionally, as in the case of Accent Grave, close inspection reveals passages of reworked areas - white over black, and vice-versa indicating that the final composition was carefully orchestrated. The painting’s title derives from the downward sloping black shape in its upper region, which suggests an accent grave in French phonetics.
