"Micro-Painting" is a minimalist artwork by Gene Davis created in 1968. The painting consists of a single horizontal yellow stripe against a turquoise background, showcasing Davis's signature style of bold color and geometric form. This piece exemplifies the Color Field movement, where the focus is on the interplay of colors and their visual impact on the viewer. Davis's use of simple, geometric shapes allows for a strong, focused aesthetic, often seen in his "stripe paintings."
