“Malibu Line” is an installation artwork by Lita Albuquerque, created in 1978 and associated with the Post-Minimalism art movement.
The artwork features a stark blue line set against a natural landscape that extends from an earthy terrain towards the horizon, integrating seamlessly with the ocean’s edge. The vibrant blue line cuts through the natural surroundings, guiding the viewer’s eye from the rough textured foreground, through the greenery, and ultimately to the tranquil sea and sky. This installation contrasts the human-made with the natural and plays with the viewer’s perception of distance and continuity. The choice of color and its placement within the landscape evoke a contemplative interaction between the man-made line and the expansive, serene environment.
