Alba, by Cuban born artist Carmen Herrara, is an acrylic painting on canvas. It measures sixty inches, or five feet, by seventy-two inches, or six feet. Alba has a landscape orientation, meaning the side that measures six feet, its longer edge, is parallel to the floor when seen hanging on a gallery wall. The painting is an example of geometric abstraction, in its truest sense, because of its bare and simplified shapes, sharp ninety-degree angles, and lack of any visual representation. The entire canvas is organized around a vertical line of symmetry, starting at the top of the canvas and reaching to the bottom, that perfectly divides the canvas down the middle. On the viewer’s left, this portion of Alba is unpainted, exposing the neutral off-white color of untreated canvas. The untreated off-white canvas extends to the top, left, and bottom edges of the frame. The unpainted canvas ends abruptly at the central line of division. From this line moving right, the other half of the rectangular canvas is painted entirely in a saturated green hue, establishing a sharply divided off-white on the left and green on the right rectangular artwork. In the center of is painting, is a smaller rectangle, that inverts the established color scheme of the larger canvas. This central rectangle is green on the left and unpainted on the right. The smaller rectangle comes short of stretching to the extreme left and right edges of the canvas. On either side, there is a strip around six inches wide of the underlying opposite color. In a way, it looks like the green and beige rectangle are both occupying, and being occupied by, one another.
