“Red with White Triangle” is an abstract artwork created by Carmen Herrera in 1961. It is associated with the Color Field Painting art movement.
The artwork is characterized by a vibrant red background that dominates the entirety of the canvas. At its center, a sharp, white triangular shape pierces through, extending vertically upwards. The triangle is precisely defined, with its edges forming a stark contrast against the red expanse. The simplicity and geometry of the composition reflect the principles of Color Field Painting, where large areas of a single color are used to evoke emotional responses and engage the viewer in contemplation.
