Untitled (Alabama), created in 1967, contrasts a black background with sharp triangular white lines. The piece itself is incredibly geometric, but creates the idea of figures, whether in a celebratory or menacing light isn't clear. There is also the likelihood that the piece reflects the civil rights conflict at the time, with the white figures to some degree representing the KKK. The image has a large triangle filled with figures, along with the longer less defined triangle that also is filled with white figures. The piece, while being abstract are also closely tied to Norman’s ideals of tying artistry with politics.
