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 abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
