The artwork titled “Abe Lincoln” was created by artist Charles Long in 1995. It belongs to the Post-Minimalism art movement and is a sculpture.
The sculpture features a sleek, bulbous base that tapers into a long, narrow and pointed form, adhering to the principles of minimalism in its clean, unembellished design. The smooth, glossy surface of the sculpture reflects light, highlighting its streamlined elegance. Its form invites contemplation, with the upward rise suggesting both tension and delicateness, a testament to the artist’s mastery in evoking complex emotions through simplicity. The artwork’s monochromatic color scheme further emphasizes its minimalist aesthetic, allowing viewers to focus on its form and the subtle play of light and shadow across its surface.
