Noble Numbers 1965

Alice Baber's "Noble Numbers" from 1965 is a vibrant abstract oil painting. The artwork consists of a multitude of soft-edged, overlapping, and brightly colored shapes, primarily blues, greens, purples, and oranges, which appear to be floating on a deep blue ground. The painting has a fluid quality, created by the soft edges of the shapes and the blending of colors. It is reminiscent of the abstract expressionism movement, which was popular in the mid-20th century, and it exhibits a similar emphasis on the expressive use of color and form. The artwork is a testament to Baber's skill as a colorist and her ability to create dynamic compositions that are both visually engaging and intellectually stimulating.
