“Attendant 5,” created by Brice Marden in 1999, is an artwork associated with the Abstract Expressionism movement and belongs to the genre of abstract art. The artwork epitomizes the trademark characteristics of Marden’s style, using intertwining lines and diverse hues to create a visually compelling composition.
The artwork comprises a series of curving, serpentine lines that loop and twist across the canvas. The primary colors observable are shades of orange, yellow, and grey, all of which wind around each other over a pale background. The lines vary in thickness, adding a dynamic sense of movement and depth to the piece. This abstract composition invites viewers to interpret the interplay of colors and shapes in their own unique manner, reflecting the essence of Abstract Expressionism.
