Leuchtrot orange - leuchtrot warm 1965

I imagine Rupprecht Geiger made this with a spray can and some stencils. It seems like a pure experience of colour, right? I wonder what Geiger was thinking when he was making it? It’s all blocks of colour next to and on top of each other, which creates depth, but at the same time, it's all on a flat surface. It’s simple but very effective! I feel like I can see other painters here too, especially some of the colour field painters. It reminds me a little of Rothko. This piece is like he’s been boiled down! It's all about surface and feeling. Artists are always having a conversation, right? They make art, and then other artists see that art, and then they make more art in response. This piece is an example of the ongoing dialogue between artists and a reminder that uncertainty is something to be embraced.
