“Dark Ochre with Black Border” is an abstract artwork created by artist Peter Joseph in 1973. This piece is associated with the Minimalism art movement.
The artwork features a predominantly dark ochre-colored expanse, encased within a black border. The simplicity and restrained color palette are characteristic of Minimalism, emphasizing the use of minimal elements to achieve a strong visual impact. The central dark ochre area, with its subtle variations in tone, creates a calm, meditative space, while the black border defines and contains this area, offering a stark contrast that accentuates and frames the ochre field. The austerity and purity of form and color in this piece invite viewers to reflect on perception and the essence of the visual experience.
