Propogation Yellow 1971

"Propogation Yellow" (1971) is a bold and minimalist work by Japanese artist Matsutani, who is known for his abstract, hard-edge paintings. The piece features a vibrant yellow field bisected by two rounded blue shapes that create a negative space in the form of a "U." This composition emphasizes the artist's interest in exploring geometric forms and their interaction with color. Matsutani's work is a testament to the power of simplified elements to evoke a sense of depth and dynamism within a restricted palette.
