Did You Know?

Astonishingly, Louis painted his large canvases in his modest 12 x 14-foot dining room.

Description

Louis is associated with the Washington Color School, a group of painters based in Washington, DC, during the 1960s and '70s. These artists tended to create large colorful compositions with repeated shapes, often using diluted paint.
Acrylic resin painting of layered elongated blobs of red, blue, orange, green, and yellow streaking out from the center of the paper. Black bleeds across the lower left corner, muting the colors there.
