"Black Friar" (1978) is a striking abstract painting by American artist Gene Davis (1920-1985), a prominent figure in the Color Field movement. The artwork features a vibrant, saturated field of color divided into vertical bands of blues, browns, greens, and yellows, arranged in a dynamic and intricate pattern. Davis's work is characterized by his unique approach to color and composition, creating works that are both visually engaging and contemplative.
