About Annunciation Study I

The artwork titled “Annunciation Study I” was created by Brice Marden in 1978. It is an example of the Minimalism art movement and belongs to the genre of abstract art.

The artwork features two adjoining rectangular blocks, each composed of vertical black and white stripes. The left block comprises three vertical sections, with the outermost stripes being black and the central stripe being white. The right block also consists of three vertical sections, but with a different arrangement—the outer stripes are black while the central stripe is white. The stark contrasts between the black and white stripes, as well as the uniformity and simplicity in the composition, encapsulate the principles of Minimalism. The arrangement of the stripes creates a sense of balance and precision, emphasizing form and structure over elaborate detail. The overall simplicity and restraint in the artwork invite the viewer to focus on the fundamental elements of shape and color.
