BARCELONA #5, 1988, color lithograph, signed in pencil, from the numbered editions 75, sheet 30 x 22 // Barcelona #5 by Larry Bell, a color lithograph from 1988, captures the artist's exploration of light, color, and spatial perception. In this composition, overlapping rectangular shapes in vibrant shades of green, orange, pink, and teal contrast against a softly gradated background that shifts from deep purple to red and gray. The interplay of colors and geometric forms creates a sense of depth and illusion, making the flat surface appear multidimensional. Bell, known for his innovative work with light and shadow, invites viewers to experience a shifting visual perception as they take in the layered hues and forms. Limited to an edition of 75, this lithograph exemplifies Bell's refined approach to minimalist abstraction and his fascination with the boundaries of two-dimensional space.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
