This piece by Charles Hinman (American, b. 1932) is a quintessential example of his three-dimensional shaped canvas works, which blur the boundary between painting and sculpture. 

Key Visual & Physical Attributes

• Dimensions: The work measures 23 inches in height, 29 inches in length, and 3 inches in depth.
• Composition: It features multiple geometric, overlapping planes in a Hard-edge abstract style. The primary visible forms include:
  • A prominent white textured rectangular shape in the foreground.
  • Angled geometric planes in mustard yellow, grey, and blue.
  • A sliver of vibrant red visible along the right edge.
• Structure: Hinman typically constructs these pieces by stretching canvas over hand-built wood frames, allowing the work to project away from the wall into the viewer's space. 

Artistic Context

Hinman is a pioneer of the 1960s Abstract Minimalist movement. His work is celebrated for its use of "actual space" versus "illusionary space," where the shadows cast by the 3D forms become an integral part of the composition. His pieces are held in major permanent collections, including MoMA and the Whitney Museum
