monochromes and hard edged abstraction

I was surprised to see how recent some of these are! I had kind of assumed that this sort of paradigm had become unfashionable. I really like a lot of these.

a couple more aldriches but its really worth pointing out that hard edged abstraction and the monochrome are explicitly not an organising motif w/n his work but that he is super interesting and cool.

that second last one is like a via motherwell thing but its the specific kind of ambivalence that he has abt his sources that i totally relate to

this thread = joy <3

once the barcode printer at work malfunctioned and printed me a collection of overlapping b+w stripes which was pretty rad in a sub-Bridget Riley sort of way, wonder if I still have it

from http://ibmcollectables.com/ibmlogo.html:
"Although this logo was reported to have been introduced by Paul Rand in 1960 and again in 1962, it was considered to "far out" by the brass and was not to be seen by the general public until 1967"

idk why i thought glaser

i'm just imagining an ibm exec looking at it going, "you crazy kids... hopped up on stripes"

it just seemed like the idea of tying up a corporate identity with a specific shade of blue would have to come from the art world.

am convincing T to start more art threads on The Church - anyone else in favour say something

Really wanna post some of Philip Guston's Ab Ex. stuff, but while being monochromatic is not really "hard-edged".

Rosalie Gascoigne. A lot of her work was made from old road signs.

I think we need a general thread on abstraction.

That Brice Marden above is obviously not hard edged, but dude does have some monochromes in him:

Thanks! This thread has also made me interested in Ellsworth Kelly. The Art Institute museum has some of his work. I'm gonna try and go this week.
