The artwork titled “First Conversion,” created by Robert Ryman in 2003, belongs to the art movement known as Minimalism and falls under the abstract genre.
The artwork exemplifies Ryman’s minimalist approach, marked by its simplicity and minimal color usage. The composition consists of a predominantly white canvas with a slight beige tint, exhibiting an almost unblemished surface except for a few subtle marks near the top-right area and a single, small dot slightly above the center. The deliberate use of minimal elements is characteristic of the Minimalist art movement, emphasizing purity of form and an exploration of perception.
