Satan's Flag 1970

"Satan's Flag" (1970) is a striking example of Gene Davis's signature style, Hard-Edge painting. This abstract work, comprised of two panels, features a repeating pattern of vertical stripes in black, grey and white, forming a dynamic and rhythmic composition. Davis's mastery of color and form is evident in this monumental work, creating a powerful visual impact. The bold use of color and geometric forms is characteristic of Hard-Edge painting, a style that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s as a reaction to Abstract Expressionism. Davis's work is known for its strong formal qualities and its ability to engage the viewer on a purely visual level.
