Robert Whitman Untitled Red Sphere in Cityscape silkscreen, snowy city street with surreal red circle overlay and yellow splash.

// Untitled (Red Sphere in Cityscape) by Robert Whitman, a 1973 silkscreen print, presents an intriguing juxtaposition between a stark urban landscape and a surreal, oversized red sphere. The image captures a snow-covered street scene with tall buildings fading into the background under a grayish sky, creating a quiet, almost desolate atmosphere. In the center, a bold red circle overlays a section of the photograph, adding an unexpected and vibrant element that contrasts with the muted tones of the surroundings. A small yellow splash above the sphere adds an additional layer of abstraction. This print combines realism with abstract intervention, challenging perceptions of reality and space. Whitman’s work often blurs the line between the familiar and the strange, encouraging viewers to question the boundaries of visual interpretation.

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.
