The artwork, titled “Untitled,” was created by Forrest Bess in 1970 and is associated with the Outsider art movement. This work belongs to the genre of abstract art.
The artwork features a central circular form dominated by two white triangular shapes, which are juxtaposed against a dark, almost black background. Surrounding this central form is a vibrant ring of variously colored brushstrokes, comprising an array of hues including red, yellow, blue, orange, and green. These brushstrokes add a dynamic texture and create a stark contrast with the more subdued, inner geometric shapes. The overall composition is minimalist yet compelling, drawing the viewer’s attention to the interplay between simplicity of form and the complexity of the surrounding colors. The artist’s signature, “Forrest Bess 1970,” can be seen in the lower right corner of the artwork, reinforcing the personal and direct connection of the piece to its creator.
