Alphard

1964

This geometric composition presents four blue quatrefoil or star like forms arranged in a cross pattern around a central fifth form, each punctuated by a deep rust brown diamond at its core and outlined in cream. The symmetrical design against a neutral beige ground demonstrates the artist's commitment to hard edge abstraction and pure geometric form. Feeley's practice exemplified the color field and geometric abstraction movements of the 1960s, emphasizing the expressive potential of color relationships and bounded shapes rather than representation. The work's restrained palette and precise execution reflect the broader mid century American abstract movement's engagement with formal reduction and visual harmony.
