From the Artist
“Yellow Ball on Red and Industrial Age were part of a body of work where I was trying to simplify the world. Making space and color relative to the objects and people in that space. Yellow Ball on Red is about movement in that space and how the color became part of that movement.”
About the Artwork
Originally executed in latex and acrylic on paper, our digitally printed reproduction captures every paper grain, subtle paint bleed, and vibrant color of Moore’s intimately sized composition.
Curatorial Opinion
Yellow Ball on Red belongs to a body of work by Carl E. Moore where he was attempting to reduce the world to its most basic shapes and colors. The use of primary colors adds a layer of abstraction, even in the presence of the figure, striving to reach the ball. For a simple composition, this painting has surprising perspective and depth; the size of the ball compared to the hand creates a spatial relation and tension that leads the viewer to wonder what the outcome of the action will be.

About the Process
Haystack collaborates with traditional printmakers and digital printers to ensure each artist’s print reflects the most important aspects of their studio practice. Yellow Ball on Red was printed by G.Moulin Limited Editions. Each Archival Pigment Print was digitally printed with a lab-calibrated inkjet printer using pigment-based inks (this process is also known as Giclée printing). The 100% cotton paper has a smooth texture and the purest natural white tone available, allowing for every visual subtlety and tonal transition in the artwork to be reproduced at the highest quality.
