“Blunder,” an abstract artwork created by Brice Marden in 1969, is associated with the Color Field Painting and Minimalism art movements. This piece exemplifies Marden’s exploration of abstract minimalism through its simplified color palette and composition.
The artwork consists of a simple, yet compelling composition divided vertically into two distinct yet complementing sections. The left side of the canvas displays a soft, light yellow hue, while the right side is rendered in a muted, earthy orange tone. The minimalist approach and the subtle interplay of these adjacent color fields invite contemplation and reflect the essence of Color Field Painting and Minimalism, where the emphasis is placed on the purity of color and form.
