"Boudoir Painting" is a 1965 work by American artist Gene Davis (1920-1985). The painting is comprised of vertical stripes of various colors. Davis is known for his abstract, hard-edged paintings and his use of bold, vibrant colors. This piece exemplifies his signature style, creating a visually impactful and energetic composition. The painting's title is a play on the typical boudoir setting, referencing the often feminine and decorative nature of the space, while the artwork itself is an abstract exploration of color and form.
