Detailed Description

Color Field painting is a style of abstract painting that emerged in New York City during the 1940s and 1950s. It was inspired by European modernism and closely related to Abstract Expressionism. Color Field painting is characterized by large fields of flat, solid color spread across the canvas. The color is often unmodulated and evenly applied, giving the surface an overall flat, decorative appearance. The style is associated with hard-edge painting, in which geometric forms are delineated by sharp lines. Color Field painting was pioneered by artists such as Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Clyfford Still, and Helen Frankenthaler. These artists rejected the gestural, emotional style of Abstract Expressionism in favor of a more intellectual, formal approach. The color fields they created were often compared to the work of the French painter Henri Matisse. Today, Color Field painting is recognized as an important movement in American art history. The style has been taken up by a new generation of artists, who are using it to create bold, contemporary artworks.
