// Réflexions by Robert Barry is a minimalist lithograph that invites quiet contemplation. Created in 1991 and produced in a limited edition of 250, the artwork is subtle, with faint words scattered across a soft, almost blank background. The words—such as WONDER, BEYOND, and ALMOST—are isolated, encouraging viewers to engage in introspective thought. Barry's approach emphasizes the power of language and space, inviting interpretation and reflection. This piece evokes a meditative state, where simplicity enhances the potential for deeper meaning, aligning with Barry's conceptual focus on language as a tool for engaging the mind.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
