Question

An artist who exclusively used this color deployed tiny rakes for works entitled “Peinture.” Those works inspired by prehistoric art were created by that so-called “painter” of this color, Pierre Soulages (”soo-LAHWZH”). A work of this color described as a “desperate struggle to free art” was displayed (-5[1])at a show entitled “The Last Exhibition” and reused a 1913 opera motif. Square canvases of this color made up the final works by Ad Reinhardt. (-5[1])Another work entitled The (*) Marriage of Reason and Squalor was part of a set of paintings named after this color by Frank Stella. Large ovals of this color make up the Elegy to the Spanish Republic series by Robert Motherwell. The “zero point of painting” consists of a white border and square of this color (10[1])by Kazimir (10[1])Malevich. For 10 points, name this color of a series of paintings by Francisco de Goya. ■END■ (10[2])
