“Pilica II” is a remarkable piece of abstract art created in 1973 by the artist Frank Stella. This artwork is a part of the “Polish Village” series and is representative of the Hard Edge Painting movement.
The artwork itself exhibits a dynamic composition of geometric shapes and bold colors, characteristic of Stella’s abstract style. It features an interplay of intersecting and overlapping forms, with sharp edges and flat planes. Predominantly utilizing a palette of whites, blacks, reds, blues, and earth tones, the piece exudes a sense of architectural structure and precision. The stark contrast and clear delineation between shapes emphasize the artist’s intent to explore non-representational forms and spatial dynamics.
