Rectangle within Three Rectangles (Orange)

1980

Rectangle within Three Rectangles (Orange) is a screenprint in colors produced on BFK Rives paper in 1980, exemplifying Mangold's interest in nested geometric forms and spatial relationships. The use of orange as the defining color gives the work a warm and commanding presence while reinforcing its geometric clarity. Mangold arranges rectangles in a manner that invites the viewer to consider both containment and expansion within a flat picture plane. The work is a refined expression of the artist's minimalist and conceptually driven approach to printmaking.
