“Pasadena Lifesavers Red #5,” created by Judy Chicago in 1970, is an artwork associated with the Minimalism movement and categorized under the abstract genre. The artwork showcases four octagonal forms, each segmented into colorful gradients that blend seamlessly from one color to another. The hues varying from red to blue, paired with softer shades of pink and yellow, create a sense of depth and luminous transformation within each geometric shape. The clean, repetitive arrangement on a stark white background emphasizes the minimalist aesthetic and abstract nature of the composition, inviting viewers to ponder the interplay of form, color, and perception.
