About 59-80.75-c

The artwork, entitled “59-80.75-c,” was created by artist Martin Barre in 1959 and belongs to the Minimalism movement within the abstract genre.

The artwork features a subdued, minimalistic approach to abstraction, utilizing a neutral beige background as its primary canvas. Dispersed across this background are irregular, fragmented shapes in contrasting hues of white and dark brownish-black. These shapes appear almost as fleeting, ephemeral marks, with each stroke contributing to an overall sense of balance and thoughtful restraint. The composition’s simplicity and the deliberate placement of abstract forms evoke an atmosphere of contemplation and subtle tension. The artwork exemplifies the Minimalist movement’s emphasis on purity of form and the reduction of elements to their most essential nature.
