About Black and Yellow

“Black and Yellow,” created by Carmen Herrera in 2009, belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is categorized as abstract artwork. This piece features a striking juxtaposition of black and yellow hues, characteristic of Herrera’s minimalist aesthetic.

The artwork presents an abstract composition dominated by stark black and vibrant yellow colors. The design consists of geometric forms, including a bold, yellow, almost three-dimensional shape seemingly protruding from a solid black background. The yellow shape, symmetrical and clean-edged, contrasts sharply with the opaque black, creating a visual dialogue between these two colors. The simplicity and precision of the shapes, combined with the sharp contrast of hues, draw the viewer’s attention to the interplay of form and color, embodying the essence of Color Field Painting.
