Micro-Painting 1968

This small, minimalist "Micro-Painting" from 1968 by Gene Davis is a simple composition of geometric shapes against a tan background. It features a central blue circle, outlined by a turquoise ring, with only the smallest amount of empty space surrounding it. Davis is known for his use of geometric shapes and bold colors, often referencing the work of artists like Piet Mondrian. This piece, despite its small size, embodies these artistic qualities. The minimal composition allows the viewer to focus on the simple, yet impactful relationship between the shapes and colors.
