“Sun Garden,” created by Judy Chicago in 1971, is a piece rooted within the Minimalism art movement and stands as an abstract genre work. This artwork features a symmetrical arrangement of gradient rectangles that transition smoothly across a spectrum of colors. Predominant hues include soft yellows, blues, and purples which fade gently into one another, creating a harmonious and calming visual effect. The overall composition is balanced, employing minimalistic principles through its simplicity and uniformity, while still engaging the viewer through its subtle complexities and serene palette. It exemplifies the artist’s exploration into the themes of light and color.
