Mandala I 1972

"Mandala I," a 1972 work by American Minimalist sculptor John McCracken, is a captivating example of his exploration of geometric forms. Composed of concentric circles radiating outward from a central white disc, the work creates a mesmerizing optical illusion. The use of vibrant colors, including shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, enhances the sense of depth and movement within the artwork. This piece, despite its simple construction, invites contemplation and evokes a sense of meditative serenity.
