“Untitled (White Diamond)” is an abstract artwork created in 1965 by Mary Corse, a prominent figure in the Light and Space art movement. The piece is characterized by its minimalistic aesthetic and attention to light and perception.
The artwork presents itself as a large white diamond, oriented such that its points align with the cardinal directions. Within this diamond, four faint white lines intersect at the center and extend to the edges, subdividing the form into four equal triangular sections. The clean, geometric lines and the monochromatic palette emphasize the subtle interplay of light and shadow, inviting viewers to consider the nuances of visual experience. The simplicity and precision of the artwork reflect the artist’s exploration of perception and the sensory dimensions of abstract art.
