Signed and dated - Watercolour on paper // Al Held's Camerata XII (1989) is a watercolor on paper that exemplifies his exploration of geometric abstraction. The composition features a prominent green three-dimensional shape, reminiscent of a rectangular prism, floating in a space filled with rich, warm hues. A large red circle overlaps with the shape, creating a sense of depth and spatial complexity. Smaller circular elements in yellow and red further enhance the dynamic arrangement, showcasing Held's skillful use of color contrasts and geometric forms to create tension and visual movement. This work reflects his interest in constructing a sense of space through non-representational means.

What is Colour Field Painting?
Colour Field Painting is an abstract style characterized by large areas of a single color or simple, solid colors. The term was first used in the 1950s to describe the work of three American Abstract Expressionist painters—Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. Their work emphasized the emotional power of color and the creation of vast, meditative spaces through expansive color fields.
