Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Hard-edge art style is marked by abrupt transitions between color areas with clear and sharp delineation. These color areas are usually of a single, unvarying color, and geometry often plays a significant role. To create a Hard-edge artwork, focus on flat, large areas of color, limiting transitions to precise, sharp edges. Most works are abstract but can also be figurative. This style is tied to Geometric abstraction, Op Art, Post-painterly Abstraction, and Color Field painting.
