The artwork, titled “Red Tubes of Paint,” was created by the artist Arman in the year 1980. This piece is part of the Nouveau Réalisme movement and falls under the abstract genre.
The artwork is a vivid and dynamic visual composition made up of numerous crushed and deconstructed red paint tubes. These elements are assembled in a seemingly chaotic yet deliberate manner, creating a textured and layered effect. The dense aggregation of paint tubes forms a striking array of red hues, imbuing the piece with a sense of intensity and movement. The background contrasts subtly, allowing the red elements to dominate the viewer’s attention. Through this assemblage technique, Arman evokes a visceral connection to the materiality of art and the process of creation, characteristic of the Nouveau Réalisme movement.
