BARCELONA # 10, 1988, color lithograph, signed in pencil, from the numbered edition of 75, sheet 30 x 22 // Barcelona #10 by Larry Bell, a 1988 lithograph, reflects the artist's interest in light, color, and spatial perception. The composition is dominated by a central rectangular gradient that transitions from bright yellow at the top through deep orange and magenta to near-black at the bottom. This gradient creates a sense of depth, almost as if light is filtering downwards, with the colors fading into the surrounding neutral space. Bell, known for his explorations in minimalism and perception, uses the simplicity of form and subtle shifts in color to evoke a meditative atmosphere. The contrast between vibrant color and muted surroundings allows viewers to focus on the gradient’s depth and transitions. Limited to an edition of 75, this print is a testament to Bell’s skill in creating visually immersive works.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
