“Points,” created by Robert Ryman in 1963, is an artwork associated with the Minimalism art movement and falls under the genre of abstract art.
The artwork features a square canvas covered with numerous small, white, brush-like marks that create a textured surface. These marks appear to be randomly applied, yet they contribute to a cohesive and unified visual effect. The white on white technique exemplifies the minimalist approach by using simplicity in its color palette and composition, allowing the viewer to focus on the subtleties of form and texture. This piece demands a close examination and invites contemplation on the relationship between the material and the surface.
