The artwork titled “Hampton Roads” was created by Frank Stella in 1961. It is an abstract piece that belongs to the Minimalism art movement.
The artwork features a series of white lines meticulously arranged against a deep blue background. These lines form a pattern of concentric rectangular shapes, starting from near the center-left and expanding outwards, thereby creating a striking geometric design. The uniform spacing and precision of the lines emphasize simplicity and clarity, characteristic of the Minimalist movement. The visually engaging contrast between the stark white lines and the intense blue backdrop further enhances the abstract nature of this composition.
