The artwork, titled “Tahoe (Rainbow)”, was created by artist Sheila Hicks in 1975. It is a tapestry that belongs to the Minimalism art movement. The composition reflects a subtle yet vibrant use of colors and textures, characteristic of this genre.
The artwork features an arched form with a rainbow spectrum along its perimeter, encapsulating a densely textured and visually stimulating central area. The rainbow sequence consists of alternating bands of warm and cool hues, from deep reds and oranges to softer greens and yellows. Within the arch formed by the rainbow, the intricate tapestry work creates a rich, almost mosaic-like texture with a myriad of small, circular elements. The backdrop is composed of a neutral fabric that complements the vibrant elements and allows the detailed craftsmanship to stand out. The composition as a whole exemplifies the minimalist approach, focusing on form, texture, and the interplay of color.
