"Color as Field: American Painting, 1950-75"

Color field painting, which emerged in the United States during the 1950s, is characterized by pouring, staining, or spraying thinned paint onto raw canvas to create vast chromatic expanses that are remarkable for their luminosity and gracefulness. Paintings such as Helen Frankenthaler’s Flood (1967) exemplify these artists’ interest in exploring the emotional associations triggered by pure color relationships. Frankenthaler’s work, along with paintings by Mark Rothko, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, Larry Poons, and Frank Stella constitute one of the crowning achievements of postwar American abstract art.
