About No Test

The artwork “No Test” created by Brice Marden in 1970 belongs to the Minimalism movement and falls within the abstract genre. It represents the minimalist aesthetic through its simple, reduced composition and monochromatic palette.

The artwork displays a predominantly off-white or beige canvas that is characterized by simplicity and an almost monochromatic scheme. The surface appears to have a textured finish, suggesting the presence of subtle brushstrokes or variations in the application of paint. There is a very fine, almost imperceptible line or edge of a different hue running vertically close to the right side of the canvas, indicating Marden’s attention to detail and his exploration of spatial concepts and subtle variations in color. This restraint in using color and detail is typical of the Minimalist art movement, which focuses on the essentials of form and color, often seeking to eliminate the expression of emotion and personal feeling from the work.
