Lithograph on J. Green mould-made paper - Signed, numbered and dated in pencil - Dry stamp. Ed. Peterburg Press ltd, London - Literature: Axsom 82 // Frank Stella's Jasper's Dilemma (1973) is a lithograph that contrasts vivid color with monochrome in an exploration of optical geometry and visual perception. The composition features two side-by-side squares, each filled with concentric lines creating a tunnel-like, three-dimensional effect. On the left, vibrant colors such as red, orange, green, and blue alternate in layers, creating a striking contrast with the right square, which is rendered solely in shades of black and gray. The juxtaposition of these two squares reflects Stella’s interest in exploring the relationship between color, form, and how they affect visual interpretation. Printed on J. Green mould-made paper, this lithograph is signed, dated, and numbered by the artist, and produced by Petersburg Press Ltd in London. Jasper's Dilemma is a powerful statement on color theory and abstraction.

What is Colour Field Painting?
Artwork by Ellsworth Kelly

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.
