"Dream Rate" (1962) by American artist Thomas Downing (1928-1985) exemplifies geometric abstraction. The composition is a symmetrical, cross-shaped arrangement of vibrant, colorful circles, arranged in a grid-like structure. The work suggests a sense of order and repetition, characteristic of the artist's exploration of abstract patterns. Downing's use of bold colors and the precise arrangement of the circles create a visually dynamic and engaging experience, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between form, color, and repetition.
