hard-edge painting

Style of abstract art characterized by sharply defined areas of flat colour. It originated in the late 1950s in reaction to abstract expressionism, stressing a calculated, detached approach rather than one characterized by spontaneity and emotion. Leading exponents include US artists Ad Reinhardt (1913-1967) and Kenneth Noland.
