Equations 1965

"Equations" is a 1965 work by American artist Jimmy Ernst. The piece is a testament to Ernst's exploration of geometric abstraction, a style that flourished in the mid-20th century. The work features bold black lines dividing the canvas into distinct rectangular sections filled with intricate patterns of overlapping lines and grids, evoking a sense of depth and structure. The sections, in shades of blue, green, and red, create a sense of movement and rhythm. The white circle in the green section, reminiscent of a celestial object, adds a sense of mystery and wonder to the composition. Ernst's work challenges traditional notions of painting by focusing on the visual language of form and color.
