Blue and red XI

Blue and Red XI is a geometric abstract painting by the artist Barnett Newman. The painting is composed of three solid color rectangles, with a red rectangle at the top, a black rectangle in the middle, and a blue rectangle at the bottom. The rectangles are arranged in a simple, geometric composition, with the red rectangle offset to the left of the black rectangle and the blue rectangle offset to the right of the black rectangle. The painting is a minimalist work, with a focus on the use of color and form. The use of solid colors and simple geometric shapes creates a sense of order and balance in the painting. The painting is also a work of hard-edge painting, with the edges of the rectangles painted in a sharp, precise manner. The use of hard-edge painting techniques creates a sense of clarity and focus in the painting.
