The artwork titled “#8A” by Paul Reed, created in 1964, belongs to the Abstract Expressionism movement and falls within the abstract genre.
The artwork features an arrangement of blue, organic, petal-like shapes forming a circular pattern against a vibrant red background. The juxtaposition of hues creates a striking visual contrast, while a pink triangle occupies the lower left corner, further enriching the composition. The use of bold colors and simple, flowing forms exemplifies the abstract nature of Reed’s work, emphasizing emotional expression and visual dynamism.
