The artwork titled “Rayy Sketch” was created by Frank Stella in 1970. It belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is classified under the abstract genre. This composition exemplifies the artist’s affinity for abstract forms and deft use of color to create visual impact.
The artwork features a series of elongated, rounded rectangles nested within one another. The outermost layer consists of a rich maroon hue, followed by a narrower orange band. At the very center resides a slim, blue stripe. The colors are applied in a smooth, uniform manner, emphasizing the clean lines and edge-to-edge painting typical of Color Field Painting. The simplicity of the geometric shapes and the pure application of color typify Frank Stella’s innovative approach to abstraction.
