Center of the World

1960

A luminous constellation of shimmering dots and circular forms radiate outward from a central glowing core, created in acrylic on paper by Richard Pousette-Dart. The work pulses with spiritual intensity, as layers of light and color build a dense, jewel-like surface that evokes both the cosmic and the microscopic. Pousette-Dart's signature pointillist approach transforms the picture plane into a meditative field of energy, suggesting an inner universe humming with sacred, transcendent force.
