Untitled 1972

Charles Hinman's 1972 "Untitled" is a vibrant example of geometric abstraction, characterized by its bold, flat planes of color. The composition is dominated by a bright red field, punctuated by intersecting geometric shapes in yellow, white, and black. The artist's interest in hard-edged forms and flat color creates a dynamic interplay between positive and negative space, inviting the viewer to explore the illusion of depth. The simplicity of the composition, while striking, also hints at a complexity of geometric relationships, making Hinman's "Untitled" an intriguing study in form and color.
