Para III 1959

"Para III" is a vibrant abstract painting created by Morris Louis in 1959. Louis, a prominent figure in the Color Field movement, is known for his innovative use of staining techniques. The artwork, on display at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, features a dynamic interplay of bright colors, primarily reds, greens, yellows, and black, which are poured onto the canvas in a flowing, almost liquid-like manner. The resulting abstract shapes and forms evoke a sense of movement and energy, reflecting Louis's exploration of pure color and its expressive power.
