“no art was ever less spontaneous than mine. What I do is the result of reflection and of the study of the great masters; of inspiration, spontaneity, temperament, I know nothing.”

Abstract Painting No. 5, 1962
Ad Reinhardt’s work became increasingly reductive and symmetrical in the
1950’s and from 1955 until his death he worked almost exclusively in
near-black. In fact the blue-black surface of ‘Abstract Painting
No. 5’ has an underlying grid of different coloured squares divided by a
green central horizontal band. Seen from top left, the squares are:
red, blue, red, red, blue, red. Each of these colours was mixed with
black oil paint to give a matt surface quality.
