Omega IX 1961

"Omega IX" is a 1961 painting by Alexander Liberman, a Russian-American artist known for his abstract works. The painting features bold, contrasting colors and geometric shapes, characteristic of the Hard-Edge style, which emphasized simplified forms and flat planes of color. In this artwork, Liberman uses primary colors to create a dynamic composition, highlighting the interplay between white, red, and black. The image is dominated by a red background with a white half-circle on the left and a black half-circle on the right. The starkness of these shapes evokes a sense of balance and tension, drawing the viewer's attention to the interplay of colors and form.
