More yellow, less green

"More yellow, less green" by Carmen Herrera exemplifies her mastery in abstract art and her exploration of color field painting. Born in Havana and based in New York City from the mid-1950s, Herrera’s minimalist approach emphasizes bold, geometric forms and vibrant hues. This work’s deliberate shift from green to a more dominant yellow highlights her interest in the emotional and visual impact of color. Her abstract compositions, characterized by clean lines and luminous tones, gained her international recognition late in life, affirming her unique contribution to modern art.
