Riallaro (Black and White) 1995

"Riallaro (Black and White)" is a 1995 work by Frank Stella, a leading figure in Minimalism and Post-Minimalism. Stella is known for his large-scale abstract paintings that explore geometric forms and color. This print, created using the technique of etching, is a complex interplay of black and white lines and shapes. The artist's use of negative space and bold graphic elements creates a dynamic and engaging composition. Stella's works often explore the relationship between the two-dimensional surface and the illusion of three-dimensionality, and this print is no exception. The intricate lines and overlapping patterns seem to dance across the page, drawing the viewer's eye through the various layers.
