Split Ring Image 1, 2009 

"Split Ring Image 1" (2009) is a minimalist painting by Robert Mangold, known for his hard-edge geometric paintings. This work features a split ring, divided into two contrasting colors, a vibrant green and a warm red. The curved lines within the ring add a dynamic element to the otherwise simple composition, creating a sense of movement and tension. This artwork, like many of Mangold's, explores the relationship between color, shape, and space, showcasing the artist's mastery of minimalist aesthetics.
