Silkscreen, lithography, and linoleum block with hand-coloring, marbling, and collage on T. H. Saunders and Somerset papers - Axsom 190 - Published by Waddington Graphics, London - Suite: The Moby Dick Prints: The Waves // The Counterpane (from Moby Dick) by Frank Stella, created in 1989, is a mixed media print that blends silkscreen, lithography, and linoleum block techniques with hand-coloring, marbling, and collage. The composition is an intricate and dynamic array of abstract shapes and lines, drawing inspiration from Herman Melville's Moby Dick. This work is part of Stella's Moby Dick Prints series, specifically The Waves. The chaotic and fragmented nature of the image, filled with layered forms in vivid colors like reds, blues, yellows, and black, evokes a sense of movement and complexity. The sharp lines and abstract figures are woven into a richly textured background, representing the tumultuous energy of the sea and the narrative of the novel. The visual complexity of the piece mirrors the psychological and physical struggles within Moby Dick, embodying both the chaos and beauty of the story through Stella's innovative approach to printmaking.

What is minimalism?
Artwork by Agnes Martin

What is minimalism?

Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
