Untitled 1986

Erik Saxon's "Untitled" is a minimalist artwork created in 1986. The piece is characterized by its simple composition featuring a black rectangle within a slightly larger black rectangle, both against a white background. This creates a sense of depth and form through the play of light and shadow. The work's starkness and abstract nature reflect the minimalist aesthetic that emerged in the mid-20th century. The use of a monochromatic color palette further emphasizes the form and the piece's focus on pure visual elements.
