Untitled 1960

Morris Louis’s *Untitled* (1960) is a vibrant example of Color Field painting, a movement that emphasized the expressive qualities of color. The artwork consists of large, organic shapes that are reminiscent of flowing water, and the colors are blended and layered to create a sense of depth. The artist's unique pour painting technique allowed the pigments to flow freely on the canvas, creating the delicate, ethereal washes of color seen here. Louis’s use of bright, saturated hues creates a sense of energy and movement, while the soft, muted shades add a touch of tranquility. *Untitled* is a testament to Louis's mastery of color and composition, and it continues to be a significant piece of American Abstract Expressionism.
