"Micro-Painting" is a 1968 work by American artist Gene Davis (1920-1985). This abstract painting is characteristic of Davis's work, consisting of three vertical stripes of color separated by crisp edges. The colors are yellow, purple, and orange, creating a bold and vibrant composition. These minimalist works explore the visual impact of color relationships and often take on the form of "color fields," a style that originated in the 1950s. Davis's work is known for its geometric abstraction, which emphasizes the formal qualities of color and shape.
