The artwork titled “Gold and Red,” created by Arman in 1990, belongs to the Nouveau Réalisme art movement and is of the figurative genre.
Upon examining the artwork, one appreciates the rich and dynamic interplay of gold and red hues that dominate the composition. In this piece, Arman utilizes heavy, textured paint application to create an almost three-dimensional effect. The intricate layering and dripping technique produce a sense of movement and depth. The figures and forms within the artwork are abstracted yet discernible, inviting viewers to engage with their imagination to interpret the underlying subjects and narratives. The mingling of vibrant red with opulent gold gives the painting a luxuriant and intense visual impact, characteristic of Arman’s expressive style.
