"318/61", a 1961 abstract painting by Rupprecht Geiger, is a striking example of Color Field painting. The work features a single, vertical, rectangular shape of graduating color, transitioning from a bright yellow at the top to a deep, almost-black red at the bottom. The lack of representational elements emphasizes the pure, unadulterated power of color, inviting viewers to contemplate its emotional and psychological effects.
