Painting (white) 1945

"Painting (white)" is a 1945 abstract painting by American artist Fritz Glarner (1899-1972). Glarner, a key figure in the development of Abstract art, was known for his austere compositions, which often featured geometric forms, flat color planes, and a limited palette. This painting showcases a minimalist approach, relying on a grid of red, yellow, and blue lines on a white background to create a sense of depth and visual harmony. The work exemplifies Glarner's commitment to a clear and rational aesthetic, making it an important example of Abstract art in the mid-20th century.
