Hard-edge
Hard-edge painting is painting in which abrupt transitions are found between color areas. Color areas are often of one unvarying color. The Hard-edge painting style is related to Geometric abstraction, Op Art, Post-painterly Abstraction, and Color Field painting. History of the term The term was coined by writer, curator and ''Los Angeles Times'' art critic Jules Langsner, along with Peter Selz, in 1959, to describe the work of painters from California, who, in their reaction to the more painterly or gestural forms of Abstract expressionism, adopted a knowingly impersonal paint application and delineated areas of color with particular sharpness and clarity.

Hard-edge can be seen to be assoc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
