Acrylic on panel. Unique work. Signed and dated to verso ‘Richard Anuszkiewicz 1975’. Soft Gray (1975) by Richard Anuszkiewicz is a unique acrylic on panel measuring 49.8 × 65.7 cm. A leading figure of the Op Art movement, Anuszkiewicz uses precise geometry and subtle shifts in color to create a vibrating sense of depth and optical rhythm. Here, a field of soft gray is punctuated by vertical linear elements that transition from turquoise to deep violet, producing a pulsating visual effect that seems to expand and contract as the eye moves across the surface. The work exemplifies Anuszkiewicz’s exploration of color interaction and perception, turning rigorous abstraction into a meditative yet dynamic experience.

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.
