About Red with White Triangle

“Red with White Triangle” is an abstract artwork created by Carmen Herrera in 1961. It is associated with the Color Field Painting art movement.

The artwork is characterized by a vibrant red background that dominates the entirety of the canvas. At its center, a sharp, white triangular shape pierces through, extending vertically upwards. The triangle is precisely defined, with its edges forming a stark contrast against the red expanse. The simplicity and geometry of the composition reflect the principles of Color Field Painting, where large areas of a single color are used to evoke emotional responses and engage the viewer in contemplation.
