"Hiraqla Variation III" is an example of the fan design. Here, semi-circles are filled with rhythmic wedges of color. To balance the decorative patterns created in these paintings, Stella used a wide and graduated range of colors, many of which he mixed himself. Stella named the paintings in this series after ancient circular Islamic cities and the gateways that surrounded them. View Provenance
