The artwork, titled “Blue Paint Tubes,” was created by Arman in 1990 and belongs to the art movement known as Nouveau Réalisme. The piece falls into the genre of abstract art.
The artwork prominently features an array of blue paint tubes, each affixed to a canvas in an organized manner. The tubes appear to have been squeezed, resulting in trails of blue paint that cascade down the canvas, creating an intricate and dynamic pattern. The tubes’ metallic shine contrasts with the vibrant blue paint, emphasizing the interaction between material and medium. This structured yet chaotic presentation captures the essence of the Nouveau Réalisme movement, which often involves the use of everyday objects to challenge traditional perceptions of art.
