The artwork titled “Untitled (to Henri Matisse)” created by Dan Flavin in 1964 belongs to the Minimalism art movement and falls under the genre of installation art.
The artwork is characterized by an arrangement of vertical fluorescent light tubes mounted on a wall. These tubes emit a soft glow in various colors—pink, blue, and green—creating a spectrum of light that interacts with the surrounding space. The composition is simple yet impactful, adhering to the principles of Minimalism with its focus on simplicity, geometric forms, and the use of industrial materials. The luminous effect of the light tubes transforms the environment, making the artwork not just a visual piece but an immersive experience. This installation pays homage to Henri Matisse, infusing the minimalist aesthetic with an appreciation for color and light.
