The artwork is titled “Untitled,” created by the artist Etel Adnan in 2013. This piece adheres to the Color Field Painting art movement, characterized by large swathes of a single color meant to engage viewers on an emotional level. Rendered in oil on canvas, the artwork features dimensions of 35 x 45 cm. It falls within the landscape genre, encapsulating elements of nature through simplistic yet vibrant color applications.
The artwork presents a serene landscape with an abstract interpretation. Bold geometric shapes fill the canvas, each representing myriad natural forms with striking hues. A bright red circle, evocative of the sun, hangs prominently in the sky. The sky itself is depicted in a soft, neutral gray. Beneath this, the land is divided into varied geometric blocks of color — yellow, brown, green, and red — symbolizing hills or mountains. The juxtaposition of these shapes and colors creates a harmonious yet dynamic balance, conveying a sense of tranquility and natural beauty through abstraction.
