The artwork titled “Untitled (White Light – Beveled Edges),” created by Mary Corse in 1970, is an exemplary piece of the Light and Space art movement and is classified within the abstract genre.
The artwork features a large, near-square canvas with a predominantly white surface, which imbues it with a sense of simplicity and purity. Lightly textured or patterned with subtle variations in tone, the artwork subtly shifts under different lighting conditions due to its reflective properties, characteristic of the Light and Space movement. The corners of the canvas are slightly beveled, adding a nuanced dimensionality and suggesting a delicate interplay between light and form. This minimalist approach challenges the viewer’s perception and encourages an immersive, contemplative experience.
