Planet
1965
A striking circular composition featuring swirling abstract forms in cool blues, turquoise, and grays against a dark background. Created during Lundeberg's mature period, this work exemplifies her exploration of cosmic and planetary themes through geometric abstraction. The painting demonstrates her distinctive approach to hard-edge painting and her fascination with celestial imagery that characterized much of her 1960s output.

Artists in conversation
Lorser Feitelson
American · b. 1898
As a co-founder of the Hard Edge painting movement alongside Lundeberg, Feitelson created works with similarly crisp geometric forms, cool color palettes, and smooth paint surfaces that evoke cosmic and metaphysical spaces with quiet precision.
John McLaughlin
American · b. 1898
McLaughlin was a central figure in California Hard Edge abstraction whose paintings share Lundeberg's restrained geometric compositions, minimal forms set against dark grounds, and a meditative quality that suggests infinite spatial depth.
Leon Polk Smith
American · b. 1906
Smith's circular and curved hard edge canvases in cool tonal palettes closely parallel Lundeberg's planetary compositions, with both artists using geometric precision and bold color contrasts to evoke celestial and cosmic imagery on flat picture planes.
