Frank Stella, 'Harran III,' 1967
1968
This geometric abstraction features a symmetrical composition of radiating colored segments arranged within two fan or quarter circle shapes outlined in bright orange. The work employs a vibrant palette of primary and secondary colors including red, blue, yellow, green, and pink, organized in bold stripes that emanate from central points. The clean lines and flat planes of color create a dynamic sense of movement and rhythm. The composition demonstrates the systematic and mathematical approach characteristic of modernist abstraction, with its emphasis on pure color relationships and geometric form.
