About Small Aqua

“Small Aqua,” crafted in 1965 by Ronald Davis, is a notable work in the art movement known as Hard Edge Painting. The genre of this artwork is abstract, which aligns with the defining characteristics of the movement.

The artwork features a minimalist composition with a distinct, precise geometric structure. It is rendered in a bold shade of aqua, emphasizing the stark contrast between the form and the negative space surrounding it. The piece appears to consist of two rectangular bars that intersect at a right angle, creating a corner-like shape. The crisp edges and uniform color application exemplify the Hard Edge Painting style, where clarity of form and color boundaries are of paramount importance. The simplicity and purity of the design evoke a sense of both precision and tranquility, characteristic of the abstract genre.
