“Study for Stander” is an abstract artwork created in 1967 by the artist Brice Marden. This work is associated with the Minimalism movement, characterized by its simplicity and focus on essential forms.
The artwork features a restrained, minimalist aesthetic, comprising two large vertical panels of dark, muted coloring. It is divided into symmetrical sections by a narrow vertical strip running through the center, which creates a stark contrast against the dark tones of the panels. The overall appearance is one of austerity and solemnity, emphasizing the minimalist style that reduces visual elements to their fundamental aspects.
