Twenty 1968

"Twenty" is a 1968 abstract artwork by American artist Thomas Downing (1928-1985), known for his geometric and minimalist style. The painting features a composition of seven flat, rectangular planes of color, layered and overlapping to create a sense of depth and perspective. Each plane is rendered in a solid, vibrant hue, including blue, orange, red, brown, and black, creating a visually striking and dynamic composition. This piece showcases Downing's signature use of bold color and geometric shapes to explore the abstract and minimalist tendencies of the art world in the 1960s.
