The artwork titled “Cool Series No. 12 (Fiercely Remote)” was created by artist Perle Fine in 1963. It belongs to the “Color Field Painting” art movement and is an abstract piece from the “Cool” series. The artwork exemplifies a tranquil and composed use of color and form, representing the abstract genre’s characteristics.
The artwork consists of multiple horizontal sections, predominantly in a monochromatic purple hue. The top portion has a slightly lighter strip followed by a darker rectangular block in the middle of the composition. Within this dark block, another slightly lighter rectangle is situated, contributing to the feeling of depth and remoteness. The lower part of the artwork continues with a similar purple tone, further adding to the cohesive and serene nature of the piece. The use of subtle variations in color and shapes creates a contemplative and calming visual effect, typical of Color Field Painting.
