Description:
Albert Manchak was part of a revolutionary movement of Geometric Abstractionists in the early to mid-nineteenth century. Inspired by Cubism, this form of abstraction prioritized simple shapes, such as rectangles and triangles, for the purpose of creating an architectural composition that didn’t reference subject matter. In this pursuit of this simplicity, Manchak found that by compartmentalizing his canvas through this use of shapes and primary colors, he was brought closer to the natural world and its “ultimate reality.” This work by Manchak was exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
This oil painting by Albert Manchak expertly uses line, color, and form to create a simplified, though not simple, image. Manchak uses the primary colors, white, and black to structure the work as a rejection of complex color and variation. His use of two distinct line weights-- fine and bold-- creates a binary between which the work oscillates. Finally, Manchak focuses on rectangles and rectangular shapes, only using 90-degree angles to divide up the canvas into segments, further simplifying the canvas into the use of one shape. Through these visual forms, Manchak recalls a simplicity lost in the pursuit of complex renderings of objects and reality. With no focus on recognizable forms, Manchak only renders the elements of such forms into a distinct and complete artwork.

Dark Image, 1960 by Will Barnet (1911-2012)

Description:
This abstract oil painting by Will Barnet uses minute gradations in value to achieve a work that presents a contextual understanding of color. Upon first inspection, it looks as if Barnet has created a completely black canvas with some hints at forms in the darkness; however, upon a closer look, the canvas is, in fact, not black, but instead comprised of varied shades of dark, muted blues, grays, and purples. Barnet presents us with an illusion of vision, asking the viewer to question his perspective and understanding of color interplay.
At the beginning of his career, Will Barnet was known for his figural depictions of domestic scenes. But, as he continued to stylistically develop, Barnet arrived at abstract geometric paintings far removed from his original career. A part of the Indian Space...
