White Lines 1941

"White Lines," a 1941 work by American artist Irene Rice Pereira, embodies the tenets of abstract art through its use of geometric shapes, lines, and negative space. The artwork, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City, showcases Pereira's exploration of form and structure, highlighting the interplay of black and white. This piece, with its focus on formal elements, positions itself as a pivotal example of the artist's dedication to abstraction in mid-20th century art.
