The artwork entitled “Jill” was created by Frank Stella in 1959. Situated within the Minimalism art movement, this piece aligns with the abstract genre and belongs to the “Black Paintings” series, highlighting Stella’s exploration of geometric forms and stark simplicity.
The artwork is characterized by a series of meticulously arranged concentric diamonds, forming an intricate, symmetrical pattern. These lines, set against a black background, convey a sense of depth and precision. The repetitive and orderly design emphasizes the minimalist approach, eschewing representational complexity in favor of a striking yet restrained visual impact. The black paint, juxtaposed with the outlined shapes, enhances the contrast and lends an air of austerity to the composition.
