The artwork titled “Rondo Blue,” created by James Turrell in 1969, belongs to the Light and Space art movement. It is an installation genre piece that is part of the artist’s “Shallow Space Constructions” series.
The artwork presents an ethereal, spatial experience through the use of light and color. It is characterized by a luminous, rectangular form embedded within a deep blue gradient, creating a captivating visual depth. The glowing edges of the rectangle appear to float amidst the surrounding blue, contributing to an immersive and meditative atmosphere. The interplay of light and shadow in the artwork exemplifies Turrell’s exploration of perception and the boundaries between the visible and intangible.
