Black Construction 1969

"Black Construction" is an abstract painting by American artist Alexander Bogen, completed in 1969. It showcases his signature style characterized by simplified geometric forms and bold color contrasts. The work primarily features a stark black rectangular shape against a white background, punctuated by a thin red line that dramatically divides the canvas. This minimalist composition invites viewers to contemplate form, color, and space in a highly simplified, yet powerful way. Bogen's work was influenced by mid-20th-century abstract art movements, particularly Abstract Expressionism, but he developed his own unique style that emphasized geometric elements and subtle color variations.
