The artwork, titled “Source,” was created by Tony Smith in 1967 and is associated with the Minimalism art movement. This piece falls within the genre of sculpture and embodies the fundamental principles of Minimalism through its geometric abstraction and simplicity.
The sculpture features a series of interlocking rectangular and angular forms, composed of flat surfaces and sharp edges. Painted in a solid monochrome black, the piece exudes a sense of austerity and purity. Positioned outdoors on a lush green lawn, the stark contrast between the dark sculpture and its vibrant environment highlights the artwork’s abstract and minimalist essence. The clean lines and geometric shapes invite contemplation on the nature of form and the relationship between the artwork and its surrounding space.
