Vertical #7

'Vertical #7' by Leon Berkowitz (1968) exemplifies his mastery within the Abstract genre, rooted in the color field painting movement. Berkowitz, known for his luminous and meditative compositions, employs expansive vertical forms that emphasize the power of color and subtle gradations. The title suggests a focus on verticality, guiding viewers to contemplate the interplay of hue and form along a monolithic axis. Through his refined technique, Berkowitz evokes a sense of spirituality and introspection, characteristic of his luminous, atmospheric style that elevates simple geometric elements to a profound visual experience.
