Rupprecht Geiger is an abstract painter and sculptor born in Munich, Germany in 1908. His paintings are of a high modernist style—mostly color fields of different geometric shapes using the variations of the color red. His father was a painter, so Geiger began painting at a very young age, accompanying his father on trips to Morocco and the Canary Islands.

What is Hard Edge Art?

Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
