Addition VII 1958

"Addition VII" (1958) is a vibrant and abstract painting by American artist Morris Louis, known for his innovative use of poured paint. The work features a harmonious arrangement of bold colors, including green, red, blue and black, applied in vertical stripes on a white canvas. Louis's "Veil" paintings, like "Addition VII," are characterized by their layered and translucent quality, creating a sense of depth and movement.
