Jar, 1946 

Carmelo Arden Quin’s "Jar" is an abstract painting created in 1946, showcasing the artist's exploration of geometric forms and color. The artwork is composed of various geometric shapes, primarily rectangles and a large, round form reminiscent of a jar. The artist employs a limited palette of subdued hues, primarily blue, green, orange, and brown. The composition is structured within a framed space with a contrasting grey mat, offering a visual tension between the geometric elements and the frame. Quin’s work, characterized by its minimalist aesthetic, is a testament to the power of abstraction in conveying visual ideas.
