Man's Sash 1965 - 1970

Maria Ruiz's "Man's Sash" (1965-1970) is a striking example of Minimalist art, characterized by its simple composition and emphasis on form and color. The piece, a long, narrow sash crafted from red and white fibers, creates a visually engaging interplay of texture and color. The repeated stripes, along with the subtle variations in color, draw the viewer's eye across the piece. The work, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection, reflects Ruiz's interest in exploring the potential of minimalist materials and their ability to evoke a sense of meditative tranquility.
