Record 1983

Robert Ryman's 1983 minimalist painting "Record" features a simple white canvas with subtle variations in texture and color. The edges of the canvas are framed with brown tape, emphasizing the painting's physical presence. Ryman is known for his exploration of the nature of painting, using minimal elements to provoke contemplation about the medium itself. His works, often featuring white surfaces, challenge the viewer's expectations and encourage a focused appreciation of the subtleties of light, form, and material.
