Robert Mangold – #8 from Attic Series II, 1991 – Etching and Aquatint

// #8 from Attic Series II by Robert Mangold, created in 1991, is a minimalist etching and aquatint that demonstrates Mangold’s exploration of geometric forms and subtle textures. The piece features an elongated, tilted rectangle containing a single, continuous line forming an elegant figure-eight shape. The restrained gray tones and soft shading within the rectangle create a sense of depth and texture, while the line work adds a graceful simplicity. The figure-eight shape, with its inherent symmetry, invites viewers to contemplate balance and infinity, which are recurring themes in Mangold's work. This print exemplifies his commitment to simplicity and abstraction, using minimal forms to evoke a contemplative and timeless quality.

Robert Mangold (United States, 1937) is a minimalist artist renowned for his geometric abstractions that explore the interplay of shape, line, and color. His work often features subtle color palettes and hand-drawn graphite lines, creating a harmonious balance between form and space. Mangold's paintings and prints have been exhibited internationally, influencing contemporary abstract art.

Art feeds off art...and artists feed off artists.
- Robert Mangold

Robert Mangold is a minimalist artist from New York who primarily uses acrylic and pencil on canvas. Minimalism is an art form that started in New York during the 1950s that is known for its simplicity and is devoid of any personal expression from the artist. Robert Mangold initially received his art training at the Cleveland Institute of Art from 1956-1959 in Ohio before transferring to Yale University where he received a BFA (’61) and MFA (’63). Robert Mangold is known for painting shapes such as rings, columns, crosses and trapezoids and will overlap multiple shapes on a single piece of work. As a minimalist, he focuses on taking various architectural forms and reduces them to their basic elements and shapes while using a monochromatic color scheme. A couple of other notable minimalist artists include Donald Judd and Frank Stella. Robert Mangold’s art is a reflection of a time and place where the minimalist movement began.

What is Hard Edge Art?

Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
