Untitled 1970

This minimalist abstract painting by American artist Thomas Downing, created in 1970, showcases a vibrant red background with four simple circles of varying colors and sizes, creating a visually engaging composition. The work embodies the minimalist aesthetic, focusing on essential forms and colors, and invites viewers to explore the interplay between the negative space of the red background and the positive space of the colored circles. The piece is a testament to Downing's artistic exploration of form and color, characteristic of his artistic style.
