The artwork titled “Rose with Dark Red,” created by Peter Joseph in 1995, is an abstract piece belonging to the Minimalism art movement. Minimalism, known for its simplicity, eschews extravagance to focus on fundamental features and forms.
The artwork depicts a square composition dominated by a deep, dark red color. At the center, there is a slightly lighter rectangular area that subtly emerges from the background, its tone differing by just enough to create a gentle contrast. The overall presentation of the piece conveys tranquility and restraint, typical of Minimalist art. The simplicity and muted palette invite viewers to contemplate the gradients and textures, offering a meditative visual experience.
