Untitled 1962

Thomas Downing's "Untitled" from 1962 is a prime example of geometric abstraction, characterized by its precise use of repeating circular forms. The canvas is divided into four sections, each with a distinct color palette: black and white, red and blue, white and yellow, and red and yellow. The use of simple shapes and colors creates a sense of rhythm and order, while the subtle variations in the arrangement of the circles add a touch of visual complexity. Downing's work explores the interplay of color and form, inviting the viewer to engage with the piece on a purely visual level.
