Abstract
"Untitled [yellow and green]" exemplifies Color field painting, a style that emerged in mid-20th-century New York City. This Abstract movement emphasizes large, flat expanses of solid color, where surface and process take precedence over gesture or brushwork. The painting's minimalist palette of yellow and green highlights how Color becomes the subject itself, freeing it from traditional objective contexts. While less gestural, the piece shares affinities with Lyrical abstraction, blending a sense of calm and expansive space within its flat picture plane.
