Red Star 1949

"Red Star" is a minimalist painting by Carmen Herrera, created in 1949. The artwork is a striking example of geometric abstraction. Herrera's use of sharp, angular lines and a bold, contrasting color scheme (black and red) creates a powerful visual impact. The prominent red star, centered against a black background, commands attention and evokes a sense of dynamism and energy. This work embodies the key principles of geometric abstraction, focusing on pure form and color to evoke emotion and meaning.
