Delta Kappa 1960

"Delta Kappa" is a 1960 painting by American artist Morris Louis, a leading figure in Color Field painting. The work showcases Louis's signature "Veil" technique, achieved by pouring thinned acrylic paint onto unprimed canvas. The vibrant colors, including red, yellow, blue, green, and purple, flow freely across the canvas, creating a dynamic and abstract composition. This work is characteristic of Louis's exploration of color, light, and form, where the liquid quality of the paint and the expansive canvas are prominent features. The artwork is currently held by the Dallas Museum of Art.
