BB #8 1962

"BB #8" is a 1962 abstract painting by Karl Benjamin. The artwork is characterized by its stark geometric shapes and limited color palette. The dominant color is a dark brown, contrasted with a small, vibrant red shape and a patch of off-white. These shapes are arranged in a layered, dynamic composition, which suggests depth and movement. The work reflects Benjamin's interest in the formal qualities of geometric abstraction and his exploration of color, shape, and space. This painting is a prime example of post-painterly abstraction.
