Etching with aquatint on wove paper - Initialed, numbered and dated in pencil - Edition 37/40 - Alexander and Bonin Publishing, New York , pub. - Framed with white acid free mat and black wooden frame - Frame: 28 x 23 x 1.5 in. (71.12 x 58.42 x 3.81 cm.) // Untitled (from Seven Mirrors) by Sean Scully, created in 1997, is an etching and aquatint that features the artist’s signature use of geometric abstraction. The composition is divided into two adjacent columns, each filled with horizontal bands in contrasting tones. The left side contains warm, reddish-brown and white stripes, while the right side presents a more muted palette of blacks, grays, and subtle golden lines. Scully’s work often explores themes of structure, rhythm, and emotional resonance through the interplay of color and form. The textured, layered appearance of each stripe suggests depth and movement within the simplicity of the design. This piece, measuring 58.4 cm by 48.2 cm, exemplifies Scully’s ability to convey complexity and introspection through abstract repetition and balance.

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.
