Rainbow 1975

"Rainbow" (1975) by Luciano Bartolini (1948-1994) is a minimalist artwork that uses the simple geometry of a grid to create a sense of visual balance and harmony. The piece consists of four squares created by thin strips of tape applied to a sheet of brown paper, revealing a subtle interplay of textures and light. The artwork's title, "Rainbow," suggests a connection to the spectrum of colors, which are present in the faint hues of the tape, and the light that is reflected off the surface of the paper. The minimalist aesthetic of "Rainbow" aligns with the artistic trends of the 1970s, where artists explored the use of simple forms and materials to create powerful visual experiences.
