Vermilion 1994

Marcia Hafif's 1994 minimalist painting "Vermilion" is a captivating example of her signature style, characterized by the use of vibrant colors and simple geometric forms. The piece consists of a solid, saturated red field that fills the canvas, drawing the viewer's attention to the power and intensity of the hue. This focus on color and its inherent qualities is a defining characteristic of Hafif's artistic practice, challenging traditional notions of painting and exploring the fundamental elements of visual experience.
