“Star of Persia I,” created by Frank Stella in 1967, is a significant work within the Minimalism movement, demonstrating characteristics of abstract art. The artwork showcases a meticulously structured geometric design, emblematic of Stella’s minimalist approach. It consists of overlapping angular shapes forming a star-like structure in a hexagonal arrangement, comprised of a series of parallel lines in various colors, including brown, black, green, orange, grey, and shades of pink. The precision of the lines and the symmetry of the composition reflect the artist’s dedication to form and color, eschewing representational content to emphasize the simplicity and purity of geometric shapes.
