The artwork titled “Number 14” was created by John McLaughlin in 1963. This piece belongs to the Minimalism art movement and is categorized under the abstract genre.
The artwork presents a minimalist composition, characterized by bold and simple geometric forms. It predominantly features two large planes: an expanse of solid black on the left and a light blue area on the right. These color fields are divided by a slender vertical white strip, creating a stark contrast and a sense of balance and division within the composition. The simplicity of form and use of color emphasizes the minimalistic approach, drawing attention to the purity and interaction of shapes and space.
