Oblique #7

Leon Berkowitz’s 1968 work, Oblique #7, exemplifies his dedication to Abstract art, emphasizing subtle gradations of color and form rather than representational imagery. As a prominent figure in the Color field painting movement, Berkowitz employs expansive, softly blended fields of color that evoke an immersive visual experience. The title, Oblique #7, suggests a focus on angled or slanting compositions, reinforcing the dynamic interplay of shapes and hues within the canvas. This piece highlights Berkowitz’s skillful manipulation of color and form to create a meditative atmosphere characteristic of late 1960s abstraction.
