Alfred Steiner, "Pour"
And how is this use - or, rather, absence of - background employed in other works?
JM:
This work [to the left] is by Alfred Steiner. And his works incorporate a lot of the empty background that really makes his mastery of color and texture pop out.
And what is the power of negative space?
JM:
I think it makes you think of your internal world. Or it just piques the curiosity.... I think when something is left blank - [as with] a blank piece of paper or a blank canvas - there's a lot of possibility. Not everything has been filled in for you, so you're left with a little bit of space to work with.
