Untitled 1972

"Untitled" (1972) by Rubem Ludolf (1932-2010) is a geometric abstraction that utilizes a grid of nine squares. Each square is composed of concentric squares in various shades of blue, creating a sense of depth and optical illusion. The minimalist composition and vibrant colors are characteristic of Ludolf's style, which explored the possibilities of geometric forms and color relationships. The work exemplifies the artist's interest in hard-edge abstraction and minimalist aesthetics, a style that gained popularity in the 1960s and 70s.
