Transection No. 7 1970

"Transection No. 7" (1970) by Clarence Holbrook Carter is a prime example of hard-edge geometric abstraction, a style that emerged in the 1960s. Carter, a prolific painter, used flat planes of color, including red, green, and blue, to create a sense of depth and illusionary space, while a translucent oval shapes the composition. The work is characterized by its sharp edges, clear forms, and lack of representational imagery, inviting the viewer to engage with the composition's abstract elements and its potential meaning.
