“Dark Blue/Black Border No.37,” created by Peter Joseph in 1978, is an abstract artwork representative of the Minimalism movement. The artwork prominently features a combination of dark blue and black tones, structured within a border format that encapsulates the minimalist aesthetic.
The composition of the artwork is stark and unembellished, reinforcing the minimalist ethos. A rich, dark blue rectangle occupies the central space, framed by a black border that delineates the edges with precision. The simplicity of the geometric shapes and the restricted color palette convey a sense of tranquility and contemplation. The use of dark hues elicits a deep, immersive visual experience, demonstrating the artist’s mastery in evoking emotion through minimalistic design.
