“Sabra III,” completed in 1967 by Frank Stella, is an abstract artwork belonging to the Protractor series and falls under the Color Field Painting movement. The artwork exudes a vibrant and striking visual language, characterized by geometric abstraction.
The artwork features a semi-circular design divided into angular segments, each filled with a distinct color. The palette includes bold hues such as red, yellow, orange, brown, blue, and black, juxtaposed against a more muted border. The combination of sharp lines and rich color creates a dynamic and harmonious composition, exemplifying the principles of the Color Field Painting movement, where color is the primary component of expression. The overall effect is one of rhythmic balance, invoking a sense of both order and movement.
