American 20th Century

Associated Names
The image displays a series of grids filled with small square-like shapes arranged in different patterns. The progression begins with a mostly empty grid at the top, gradually filling up with alternating blue and red squares as it moves down the sequence. The shapes create pixelated patterns resembling early digital graphics or mosaic art. The grids are labeled from "Step No.1" to "Step No.6," suggesting a structured transformation abstracting concepts of gradual construction or layering of design.
