Powwow 1969

Gene Davis's "Powwow" is a vibrant abstract painting from 1969, characterized by its striking use of color and simple geometric forms. The artwork features a grid of vertical stripes in a wide range of hues, including reds, yellows, blues, greens, and pinks, creating a visually dynamic and energetic composition. This painting exemplifies Davis's signature style, often referred to as "color field" or "hard-edge" abstraction, known for its emphasis on bold colors and flat, geometric shapes. The sheer simplicity and power of the composition in "Powwow" make it a compelling example of abstract art that is both visually stimulating and intellectually engaging.
