Part of his Moby Dick: The Waves series, the artwork is a complex and vibrant abstraction that reflects the intensity of the character Ahab from Herman Melville’s novel. Bold, sweeping forms in shades of red, grey, white, and purple intertwine across the composition, suggesting movement and chaos. The juxtaposition of geometric patterns with fluid, organic shapes evokes the tumultuous narrative of Ahab's obsessive quest. Signed, dated, and numbered in pencil, this large-scale work showcases Stella’s masterful fusion of technique and storytelling.

What is Hard Edge Art?
Artwork by Ellsworth Kelly

What is Hard Edge Art?

Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
