Rowley 1962

"Rowley" (1962) is a classic example of Minimalist art by American artist Frank Stella. The painting consists of a series of concentric squares in vibrant colors, including blue, green, red, orange and yellow, set against a grey background. Stella's use of bold, geometric shapes and flat, unmodulated color is characteristic of Minimalism, a movement that emerged in the 1960s. The piece challenges traditional notions of painting by focusing on basic forms and color relationships, prompting viewers to engage with the work in a purely visual and intellectual manner.
