The artwork, created by Donald Judd in 1961, is titled “Untitled” and belongs to the Hard Edge Painting and Color Field Painting movements. This abstract piece exemplifies these movements through its stark use of color and geometric form.
In its composition, the artwork employs a series of parallel black horizontal stripes against an intense red-orange background, creating a vivid and impactful visual contrast. Near the center of the canvas, a single, small blue circle punctuates the strict geometry of the lines, offering a focal point amidst the linear order. The artwork demonstrates a rigorous simplicity and bold use of color and form, characteristic of Judd’s exploration in abstract art.
