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 late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
