"Micro-Painting" is a minimalist artwork created by Gene Davis in 1968. The piece, executed in a single horizontal band of white against a lilac background, exemplifies the artist's signature hard-edge style. Davis, known for his bold and geometric abstractions, often used vibrant colors and simple shapes to create a powerful visual impact. This small-scale work, reminiscent of minimalist and color-field painting, is a testament to Davis's artistic exploration of form and color.
