Silkscreen Silkscreen is a printmaking method that uses a screen made of silk or other mesh fabric. The screen is treated with a substance that blocks ink in certain areas, allowing ink to pass through only in the desired sections. Each color in the print requires a separate screen.

- Robert Mangold
Robert Mangold is a minimalist artist from New York who primarily uses acrylic and pencil on canvas. Minimalism is an art form that started in New York during the 1950s that is known for its simplicity and is devoid of any personal expression from the artist. Robert Mangold initially received his art training at the Cleveland Institute of Art from 1956-1959 in Ohio before transferring to Yale University where he received a BFA (’61) and MFA (’63). Robert Mangold is known for painting shapes such as rings, columns, crosses and trapezoids and will overlap multiple shapes on a single piece of work. As a minimalist, he focuses on taking various architectural forms and reduces them to their basic elements and shapes while using a monochromatic color scheme. A couple of other notable minimalist artists include Donald Judd and Frank Stella. Robert Mangold’s art is a reflection of a time and place where the minimalist movement began.
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
