“Wave” is an abstract work created by Richard Tuttle in 1965, associated with the Minimalism art movement. The artwork features a distinctly minimalistic approach, embodying the essence of the 1960s abstract genre through its simplicity and subtlety.
In the artwork, two organically curving shapes are juxtaposed, each painted in a soft, solid lavender hue. These forms are positioned adjacently, with a slight gap creating a visible, yet harmonious division between them. The smooth, flowing lines of the shapes evoke a sense of calm and continuity, embodying Tuttle’s characteristic exploration of form and space. The simplicity and subdued color highlight the minimalist movement’s influence, emphasizing form and purity in abstraction.
