Abstraction and color. Those are the buzzwords designating the salient characteristics of Amish quilts, which remind anyone looking at them of modern painting, be it Josef Albers, Barnett Newman or Frank Stella. Diamonds and bars - lozenges, squares, elongated rectangles...fiery red, vivid green, smoky blue, purple...With their stringent geometry, broad color fields and astringent composition, Amish quilts are startingly close to Concrete Art, Hard-Edge painting and Mimimalism.
