“Wonderland,” created by Stanley Whitney in 2009, is an abstract artwork belonging to the Post-Painterly Abstraction movement. This colorful piece showcases Whitney’s distinct approach to color and composition.
The artwork consists of several rows of vividly colored rectangular blocks. These blocks are arranged in a seemingly random yet deliberate manner, creating a dynamic and visually stimulating composition. The colors range from vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows to cooler blues, greens, and purples. The juxtaposition of these bold colors creates a striking visual impact, drawing the viewer’s eye across the canvas. Whitney’s use of color and form in “Wonderland” demonstrates his mastery in creating harmony and balance within abstraction.
