"Micro-Painting" is a 1968 painting by Gene Davis (1920-1985), known for his Color Field abstract works. This minimalist work, likely from his series of "Micro-Paintings," is characterized by a single solid color—a vibrant purple—applied to a small canvas. The absence of any additional detail or imagery draws attention to the color itself, exploring its depth and visual impact.
