The artwork titled “Cool” Series (Blue over Red) by Perle Fine, created in 1963, belongs to the Color Field Painting art movement and is classified under the abstract genre. It is part of the “Cool” Series by the same artist.
The artwork displays a vivid interplay of colors, primarily featuring a striking blue rectangle that appears to float over a red background. The blue shape does not have sharp edges, creating a soft transition between the two dominant hues. The gestural application of paint gives a dynamic texture to the composition, conveying a sense of movement within the color fields. This melding of colors and shapes encapsulates the essence of abstraction, typical of the Color Field Painting movement, where the focus is on the emotional resonance and spatial arrangement of colors on the canvas.
