Robert Mangold

Robert Mangold (born October 12, 1937, North Tonawanda, New York) is an American painter known for his geometric abstract paintings, often characterized by simple shapes such as circles, squares, and arcs, rendered in muted colors. His work is known for its exploration of the relationship between color, form, and space, often incorporating subtle variations in the placement and orientation of shapes to create a sense of depth and movement. His work can be considered minimal or hard-edge abstraction, exhibiting a strong emphasis on precise lines and a deliberate use of color, and is highly influential in the development of post-minimalist and conceptual art.
