Spots 1967

"Spots", created in 1967 by American artist Forrest Bess, is a painting characterized by its bold use of color and abstract forms. The work features a field of red and blue dots against a white background, creating a vibrant and dynamic composition. A large, white circle, seemingly a moon or sun, floats above a series of horizontal gray stripes that suggest a landscape or horizon. Bess's work often explores themes of identity, sexuality, and the human condition, and this painting is a striking example of his unique and expressive style.
