Ink and pastel on paper
Paul Reed
American, 1919-2015
This work consists of two rectangular sheets of paper placed next to each other against a white background. Reed uses a strong color palette here, featuring black, white, and the three primary colors against a pastel, mint green background. Each piece of paper features a large, red half-circle on top of the pale green background. The picture plane of each sheet is dominated by irregular, black and white organic forms, interspersed with periodic areas of blue, that move across the paper as well as a singular form that has black and yellow striping.
