BARCELONA # 10, 1988, color lithograph, signed in pencil, from the numbered edition of 75, sheet 30 x 22 // Barcelona #10 by Larry Bell, a 1988 lithograph, reflects the artist's interest in light, color, and spatial perception. The composition is dominated by a central rectangular gradient that transitions from bright yellow at the top through deep orange and magenta to near-black at the bottom. This gradient creates a sense of depth, almost as if light is filtering downwards, with the colors fading into the surrounding neutral space. Bell, known for his explorations in minimalism and perception, uses the simplicity of form and subtle shifts in color to evoke a meditative atmosphere. The contrast between vibrant color and muted surroundings allows viewers to focus on the gradient’s depth and transitions. Limited to an edition of 75, this print is a testament to Bell’s skill in creating visually immersive works.

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.
