Leuchtrot orange - leuchtrot warm 1965

"Leuchtrot orange - leuchtrot warm" (1965) is a vibrant abstract artwork by German artist Rupprecht Geiger. Known for his exploration of color and light, Geiger presents a simple yet impactful composition, using a limited palette of bright red, pink, and orange. The central square of pink sits atop a band of red, which transitions to a gradient of orange at the bottom. The use of bold colors and geometric forms places the artwork within the realm of Color Field painting, where the focus is on the expressive qualities of color itself. The work's title, translating to "luminous red orange - luminous warm red," underscores the emphasis on color and its sensory effect.
