“Yellow Painting,” created by Peter Joseph in 1969, is an abstract work belonging to the Minimalism art movement. This artwork exemplifies the minimalistic approach, focusing on simplicity and essential forms.
The artwork consists of a monochromatic yellow triangle oriented with its point downward, dominating the composition. The use of a single color and geometric shape emphasizes a clean and uncluttered aesthetic, inviting viewers to ponder the inherent qualities of form and color without distraction. The simplicity and intentional use of the color yellow exemplify the minimalist ethos, reducing the visual expression to its most fundamental elements.
