The artwork entitled “Out,” created by the artist Al Held, is characterized by its affiliation with the Hard Edge Painting art movement and falls under the abstract genre.
The artwork depicts a minimalist composition dominated by solid, bold colors and defined edges that are typical of Hard Edge Painting. The background is a smooth, expansive field of muted purple. Cutting across the lower section is an undulating red wave, creating a stark contrast against the softer hue. Below this red form lies a smaller wave of green, aligning seamlessly with the red curvature above it. The arrangement and interaction of these colors and shapes emphasize simplicity and precision, hallmarks of the abstract and Hard Edge Painting style.
