The artwork, named “Avrutun,” was created by the artist Brice Marden in 1971. This piece is attributed to the Minimalism art movement and falls under the abstract genre.
The artwork displays a minimalistic approach, characterized by stark simplicity and minimal use of color and composition. The canvas is divided horizontally into two uniform sections, the upper part in a soft beige tone and the lower part in a muted greyish hue. The understated and monochromatic palette reflects the essence of Minimalism, emphasizing form, and subtle color contrasts over complexity. The crisp horizontal division and the delicate texture invite contemplation and exemplify a serene balance, resonating with the abstract qualities of the genre.
