White Painting [two Panel] (1951) by Robert Rauschenberg

“White Painting [two Panel]” is an abstract artwork created by Robert Rauschenberg in 1951. It belongs to the Conceptual Art and Minimalism movements and is currently located at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US.

The artwork comprises two large rectangular panels, both painted entirely white. The simplicity of the composition challenges traditional notions of painting by focusing on pure form devoid of color variation, texture, or discernible marks. The smooth, monochromatic surface prompts viewers to engage with the idea of emptiness and the role of their perception in experiencing the piece. This minimalist approach invites contemplation concerning the boundaries of art and the essence of visual experience.
