Untitled 1964

Howard Mehring’s *Untitled* (1964) is a prime example of hard-edge abstract painting. It is characterized by its bold geometric forms and vibrant colors, reminiscent of the work of other notable Abstract artists of the time, such as Josef Albers and Ellsworth Kelly. The composition features a central black band dividing two yellow fields. The fields are framed by red and burgundy geometric forms that recede inward. This emphasis on geometric forms and color harmonies, combined with the seemingly flat and even surface, creates a sense of balance and order.
