Join (#11) 1961

"Join (#11)" is a 1961 painting by American artist Frederick Hammersley, known for his abstract geometric work. The composition features a stark juxtaposition of primary colors: blue, black, and white, arranged in simple, geometric shapes. Hammersley, a key figure in the Hard-Edge movement, explored the inherent properties of color and form, creating visual tension and equilibrium through the interplay of flat, unmodulated planes. His work, often perceived as cool and minimalist, invites viewers to engage with the fundamental elements of visual art.
