The artwork titled “Gouache 2004 B-7” was created by Pierre Soulages in 2004 using the medium of gouache. It is associated with the Minimalism art movement and belongs to the abstract genre.
The artwork is characterized by its simplicity and stark contrast of black and white. It features two broad, horizontal black bands separated by a white strip in the middle. The brushstrokes at the edges of the black bands are slightly irregular, creating a textured and dynamic appearance against the pure white background. This minimalist composition emphasizes the interplay between light and dark, as well as the intentional use of space, which are key elements in Soulages’ abstract works. The overall effect evokes a sense of calm and contemplation, typical of Minimalist art.
