Mandragora 1969

"Mandragora," created in 1969 by Walter Darby Bannard, is an abstract painting that exemplifies the artist's signature style of Color Field painting. This piece showcases Bannard's masterful use of color, texture, and shape, where areas of bright orange and pale yellow are set against a cool, green-blue background. These contrasting colors create a vibrant and dynamic visual experience that draws the viewer's eye across the canvas. The interplay of color and texture adds a sense of depth and movement to the abstract forms, inviting contemplation and interpretation.
