King Kong 1969

"King Kong" (1969) is a vibrant example of the abstract art movement by American artist Gene Davis. The artwork is comprised of vertical stripes of various colors, showcasing Davis's signature style of bold color and simple composition. The arrangement of colors creates a dynamic, rhythmic effect that draws the viewer's eye across the canvas, highlighting Davis's masterful use of color as a primary expressive element. This abstract painting embodies the essence of Color Field painting, where color takes center stage and form is secondary.
