My painting shows a man enjoying a painting by Ellsworth Kelly. His art is about the 'thing itself,' the essence of shapes seen in the world, translated into simple, hard-edged, and impactful visual statements.

All the best, Gerard

The painting my figure is enjoying is a prime example by Morris Louis' Color Field painting.

This is a style of abstract painting characterized primarily by large fields of flat, solid color spread across or stained into the canvas creating areas of unbroken surface and a flat picture plane.

The movement places less emphasis on gesture, brushstrokes and action in favor of an overall consistency of form and process. In color field painting color is freed from objective context and becomes the subject in itself.

All the best, Gerard

No. 1 (PH-142)- Painting Of Man Enjoying Painting By Clyfford Still

No. 1 (PH-142)
painting of man enjoying a painting by Clyfford Still

acrylic on masonite
8" x 8" or 20 x 20 cm
2018

SOLD

Clyfford Still was an American painter, and one of the leading figures in the first generation of Abstract Expressionists, who developed a new, powerful approach to painting in the years immediately following World War II.

Still's overriding theme is the existential struggle of the human spirit against the forces of nature, a notion that finds expression in the vertical forms that reach defiantly through the majority of his compositions, and a struggle he evoked in his phrase 'the vertical necessity of life.'

His expansive fields of color have sometimes been likened to caves or vast abysses momentarily illuminated by crackling flares of light. A believer in art's moral value in a disorienting modern world, Still would go on to influence a second generation of Color Field painters.

Ellsworth Kelly was an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker associated with Hard-edge painting, Color Field painting and Minimalism. His works demonstrate unassuming techniques emphasizing line, color and form.

Kelly intended for viewers to experience his artwork with instinctive, physical responses to the work's structure, color, and surrounding space rather than with contextual or interpretive analysis. He encourages a kind of silent encounter, or bodily participation by the viewer with the artwork, chiefly by presenting bold and contrasting colors free of gestural brushstrokes.
