A Form of Contemplation

Yves Klein, Petite Vénus Bleue

A Form of Contemplation FEATURING JOHN BALDESSARI, YVES KLEIN AND MORE

Monochromatic artworks are formal and emotive. With the use of a single color, artists explore lines and geometry in ways that inspire an austere sense of sublime. They not only draw our attention to the physical sense of being but also the contemplation of the monochrome calls forth an emotional response that is beyond the physical. Here is a collection of our favorite monochrome works by modern and contemporary artists working across an array of different mediums.
