Compression to one 1963

"Compression to One" is a minimalist artwork created by Robert Huot in 1963. The artwork is a single vertical line painted in dark blue on a white background. Huot, known for his abstract and geometric works, explores the fundamental elements of form and colour in this piece. The simplicity of the composition invites contemplation of the line's presence, absence, and the interplay of negative and positive space. This minimalistic approach, characteristic of Minimalism, reduces the artwork to its essence, inviting viewers to engage with the subtle interplay of elements.
