“Vanishing Points (Yellow) is an acrylic painting on canvas by the artist Jose Rosabal. The painting is in vertical orientation, meaning that its shortest side runs parallel to the ground. It is built in two equal parts, with both coming together to measure almost six feet tall and just over five feet across. This painting is strongly influenced by the grandeur of the buildings of the great metropolis of New York City, after the artist emigrated to the United States from Cuba in 1968. The painting itself is composed of flat rectangles all over made with bright contrasting colors. The rectangular bands of color that make up the painting are mostly the same size, at about four or five inches wide. The bands are mostly dark purple, gray, black, green, red, and deep yellow. The center of the painting is marked by a single black stripe that sweeps straight all the way across from the left towards the right descending a very slight angle. This black band divides the upper and lower halves of the painting, with each side seeming to mirror each other. The top half of the painting has these dark rectangular bands of color beginning at the top left corner. These stripes come down, then bend towards the right at ninety degrees, continuing off the canvas to the right. The bottom half of the painting does the same, but in the opposite direction. Bands containing the same colors sweep in from the bottom right corner of the painting, bend ninety degrees towards the left, and continue off the canvas. In the center of both halves, two larger write rectangles seem to float above the bands of color. They contain stripes of light beige, green, and red within their parameters. Overall, each part of this diptych complements the other, creating almost like an energetic current crossing from one end of the canvas to the other. “
