Micro-Painting 1968

Gene Davis was known for his vibrant, geometric abstract paintings, often featuring bold stripes. Created in 1968, "Micro-Painting" is a departure from this signature style. Instead of stripes, the work features a single, centrally placed white circle against a solid gold background. This minimal composition creates a sense of stark contrast, emphasizing the simplicity of form and color. The work exemplifies the artist's exploration of minimalist principles within the context of abstract art.
