A striking example of Karl Benjamin's systematic approach to color and form, this large-scale vertical composition features rhythmic stripes in blue and green hues. Created in 1980, this work exemplifies Benjamin's role as a founding member of California's Hard-Edge painting movement. The precision and optical vibrancy of the parallel lines demonstrate his mastery of color relationships and geometric abstraction.
