1977

A vibrant hard-edge abstract painting by Karl Benjamin featuring vertical color bands in blues, pinks, reds, and golds that create an optical chromatic progression across the canvas. Benjamin, a founding member of the California Hard-edge movement, was known for his systematic exploration of color relationships and geometric precision. This 1977 work exemplifies his mature style, with meticulously painted stripes that demonstrate his commitment to pure abstraction and the perceptual effects of juxtaposed hues.
