Joseph and his Brothers 1971

Clarence Holbrook Carter's "Joseph and his Brothers," created in 1971, is a striking abstract artwork that explores the interplay of color and form. The composition is divided into a blue and red band, the latter containing multiple overlapping white ovals. A central, circular, white-rimmed stage, with a blue interior, dominates the lower third of the piece. This central element, paired with the dynamic composition, evokes a sense of balance and intrigue. Carter was known for his abstract and geometric style, using bold colors to explore the relationship between shape and space, making this piece a representative example of his work.
