“Black/Red” is an abstract artwork created by Jack Youngerman in 1962, and is associated with the Post-Painterly Abstraction movement. The artwork features bold, interlocking shapes in powerful, contrasting colors. Predominantly black and red hues dominate the composition, with white accents providing stark juxtaposition. The organic forms and sharp edges create a dynamic interplay of positive and negative space, inviting a contemplative engagement with the visual elements. Youngerman’s meticulous balance of color and form exemplifies the principles of Post-Painterly Abstraction, emphasizing a clear, crisp aesthetic that eschews emotional expressiveness.
