The artwork “Step by Step” was created by Richard Tuttle in 2002 and belongs to the Hard Edge Painting art movement. It is an abstract piece showcasing the style and elements typical of this genre.
In the artwork, a series of black and white rectangular forms create a checkered pattern in the background. Superimposed over this background, there are horizontal bands of various colors, including brown, light blue, pink, fuchsia, violet, grey, yellow, and mustard. The geometric precision and the use of contrasting hues reflect the principles of Hard Edge Painting, emphasizing sharp transitions in color and form. The overall composition emanates a sense of order and rhythm, adhering to the aesthetic qualities of abstract art.
