Quartet 1961

"Quartet" (1961) by Jo Baer is a striking example of hard-edge painting, a style that emerged in the 1960s. Baer's work is known for its use of bold geometric shapes and vivid colors, as seen in this artwork. The composition is divided into four sections, with a central black shape surrounded by a vibrant pink rectangle. The use of simple, geometric forms and contrasting colors creates a sense of order and balance. Baer's work is characterized by a minimalist aesthetic and a focus on abstract form, exploring the potential of abstract geometry.
