// Between Green by Günter Fruhtrunk is a 1970 screen-print that exemplifies the artist’s bold approach to geometric abstraction and Op Art. The composition features alternating vertical stripes of vibrant red, green, and black, arranged in varying widths. The contrast between the intense colors and the stark black background creates a rhythmic visual impact, drawing the viewer’s eye along the lines and generating a sense of movement. Fruhtrunk’s work often explores the interaction of color and form to produce optical effects, and this piece is no exception, with the repetition and color contrast giving it an almost pulsating quality. The print invites viewers to experience color as a dynamic force, embodying the principles of kinetic art.

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.
