“Micro-Painting” by Gene Davis, created in 1968, is an exquisite work of art belonging to the Hard Edge Painting movement. Executed in acrylic on canvas, this abstract painting measures a diminutive 2.6 by 2.6 centimeters.
The artwork features an orange background, uniformly and smoothly painted, with a small green dot meticulously placed in the center. The precision and crisp edges of the green dot in stark contrast with the orange expanse showcase the simplicity and clarity characteristic of the Hard Edge Painting style. This minimalistic representation invites a focused contemplation on form and color.
