“Theme with Yellow and Green (for a vertical wall)” is an abstract artwork by Richard Tuttle, completed in 1990. It is representative of the Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism art movements. The piece falls under the genre of abstract art.
The artwork showcases a small, centrally placed composition against a predominantly white background. The central motif is a colorful form resembling a patchwork of intersecting lines and shapes in shades of yellow, green, red, blue, and other colors. This vibrant configuration is enclosed within faint, precise rectangular outlines, suggesting a minimalist approach to framing the abstract forms. The simplicity of the overall composition emphasizes the contrast and harmony between the vibrant central form and the serenity of the surrounding white space. The juxtaposition of these elements embodies the principles of both Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism, making it a quintessential representation of Tuttle’s artistic sensibilities.
