Hard-Edge Painting
ハードエッジ・ペインティング / 1959–1970s / Style / Geometric Abstraction
Pintura que mantiene los límites absolutamente nítidos y construye el cuadro únicamente con planos de color uniformes. Excluye la pincelada y la gradación: el borde del plano cromático es el único acontecimiento. Ese filo exacto, obtenido con cinta de enmascarar, es el antepasado directo del flat design y de la expresión vectorial.
Bordes de color perfectamente nítidos / Aplicación plana sin gradación / Pocos planos de color de gran tamaño / La forma misma determina el soporte
Entrada del diccionario
- Usos idóneos
- Identity and signage systems that must survive at any scale in flat colour, with no gradient or shadow left to reproduce badly · Interface and icon work built on hard vector silhouettes, where legibility is purely a function of edge and area
- Tipografía
- A geometric sans in a single weight, treated as a flat plane of its own and aligned to the same edges as the colour.
- Composición
- Two to four fields dividing the format, with the division placed off any obvious fraction so the areas stay in tension.
- Material
- Flat, opaque, unmodulated colour with the edge cut mechanically, showing neither overlap nor a light halo.
- Precaución
- Softening one edge for depth: a single feathered boundary reintroduces illusionistic space, and the picture reverts to being a picture of something.
