Label TextHedda Sterne composed this prismatic painting by balancing horizontal and vertical lines that simultaneously create the illusion of three-dimensional space as well as emphasize the two-dimensional planarity of the picture's surface.
The painting's subtle, warm palette of shimmering golden hues, ranging from ochre to lemon yellow, suggests a light-infused, cathedral-like space. Sterne employs these formalist, abstract painting devices to convey deeply spiritual concerns.
