Transection #3, After Fra Angelico 1967

Clarence Holbrook Carter's "Transection #3, After Fra Angelico" is a 1967 painting that exemplifies geometric abstraction. Carter, known for his geometric compositions, uses a grid of squares with some squares open to reveal a white interior. These open squares are juxtaposed with white rectangles that appear to be falling down. A large, red box with an open lid sits in the lower foreground. The work plays with perspective and spatial depth, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of form and color.
