Abstract
"Yellow Rose #1" exemplifies Color field painting, a style of abstract art that emerged in New York in the 1940s and 1950s. The artwork features expansive, flat areas of vibrant yellow, allowing the color to serve as the primary subject, free from objective context. Its emphasis on large, unbroken fields of color aligns with the movement's focus on form and process rather than gesture or brushwork. While influenced by European modernism, Color field painting is closely related to abstract expressionism. The minimalistic approach echoes the principles of Minimalism, aiming for visual harmony and an immersive experience.
