Tucson 1966

Sven Lukin's "Tucson" (1966) is a bold example of Geometric Abstraction. The piece features a vibrant orange background with a contrasting yellow and blue form that juts forward from the surface. The composition is simple yet striking, with the yellow form appearing almost three-dimensional, creating a dynamic interplay of color and shape. Lukin's use of bold colors and geometric forms highlights a trend in American art in the mid-20th century, emphasizing a focus on the formal elements of art and challenging traditional artistic boundaries.
