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 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.
