What is "hard-edge painting"?
Hard-edge painting is an art style that started in the late 1950s, characterized by its use of sharp, clean lines and bold, unmixed colors. Artists working in this style, such as Ellsworth Kelly and Frank Stella, focused on creating accurate and geometric shapes with clear outlines. The technique involves applying paint to achieve smooth, even surfaces with no visible brushstrokes or texture. Hard-edge painting emphasizes simplicity and clarity, avoiding depth or illusion to create a powerful visual impact through its bold contrasts and direct forms.
