Middle East 1964

"Middle East" is a 1964 abstract painting by American artist Frederick Hammersley, known for his contributions to hard-edge abstraction. The composition features bold, simplified forms in vibrant colors, like red, yellow, purple, and teal, against a textured, beige background. The shapes are arranged in a dynamic interplay, creating a sense of depth and movement within the flat surface of the canvas. Hammersley's work reflects the influence of geometric abstraction and emphasizes the principles of color and form in his abstract compositions.
