Micro-Painting 1968

Gene Davis's "Micro-Painting" from 1968 is a minimalist artwork showcasing a single, small blue circle against a large, terracotta-colored background. This simple yet striking composition exemplifies the artist's exploration of color and form, characteristic of his abstract expressionist style. Davis's works often feature bold, geometric shapes that create a sense of energy and movement within the canvas. "Micro-Painting" serves as a prime example of this aesthetic, where the viewer's attention is drawn to the subtle interplay between the single circular element and its expansive, monochromatic field.
