Elementary Principles #2 1970 - 1975

"Elementary Principles #2" is a minimalist artwork created by Jan Kubicek between 1970 and 1975. This piece, with its simple composition and stark white background, exemplifies the key elements of Minimalist art. A single thin black line divides the canvas into four equal quadrants, a composition that focuses on the fundamental elements of line, space, and form. Kubicek's work often explores the essence of visual perception, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of these basic elements in the artistic experience. The artwork's restrained and geometric nature, with its single line, creates a visual tension and draws the viewer's attention to the minimalist beauty of the work.
