OE 275 1958

"OE 275" (1958) is an abstract painting by Rupprecht Geiger (1908-2009) characterized by its stark simplicity and bold use of color. The work features a vibrant red background that transitions to a dark black at the bottom, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. A single horizontal blue stripe cuts across the bottom edge, providing a stark contrast and anchoring the composition. Geiger's work is a prime example of Color Field painting, a genre of abstract art that emerged in the mid-20th century.
