Adriatic 1973

"Adriatic" (1973) is a minimalist painting by Brice Marden, known for his contributions to abstract expressionism and color field painting. This work is divided in half by a thin line, creating two distinct rectangular shapes. The simplicity and monochromatic color palette allow for a focused contemplation of the artist’s manipulation of form and space. This piece demonstrates Marden’s commitment to a pared-down visual language and his exploration of the subtle nuances of color and tone.
