"Hopewell Valley Sun," painted in 1959 by Walter Darby Bannard, is a striking example of hard-edge abstraction. The artwork features a single, vibrant red circle, a simple yet powerful composition that emphasizes the interplay of color and form. Bannard's work is characterized by its minimalist aesthetic and precise geometric shapes, exemplifying a trend in mid-century American art. This piece, with its stark simplicity and bold use of color, engages the viewer in a direct and captivating way.
