About Untitled

“Untitled,” created in 1950 by Carmen Herrera, belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is classified within the abstract genre. The artwork showcases a minimalist composition characterized by a stark color contrast between black and white. Dominating the center is a black asymmetrical linear form that slices horizontally across the canvas, separating the white expanse into two segments. The precise geometric balance and simplicity of the piece evoke a sense of tranquility and strict order, emblematic of the abstract and Color Field Painting styles.

The composition is meticulously structured, featuring a sharp, clean division created by the black linear element against the white background. The lower half slightly differs in tone compared to the pristine white above, subtly enhancing the dimensional depth and texture of the artwork. The intersecting lines and planes invite viewers to contemplate the spatial relationships and the interplay of form and void, reflecting Herrera’s distinctive approach to abstract art.
