About Mirabelle Addenda 2

The artwork “Mirabelle Addenda 2” was created by artist Brice Marden in 1979. Marden’s work during this period often distilled abstract expressionist gestures into minimal forms, and this piece may reflect those sensibilities. Bridging Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism, the genre of the artwork is abstract.

In inspecting the image provided, the artwork features a simple rectilinear form that appears almost like a frame or a window. Its strokes are gestural and yet retain a sense of order within the confinements of the square. The artwork is rendered in a monochromatic palette, predominantly in black against a textured, natural-toned paper. This textural contrast contributes to the piece’s minimalist aesthetic. The artist’s initials and the year of creation are inscribed at the bottom of the image, reinforcing its authenticity and creation period. The raw edges of the paper suggest an organic quality, resonating with the abstract expressionist influence of allowing the materiality to inform the work.
