Ambi I 1960

"Ambi I" is a large-scale abstract painting created in 1960 by American artist Morris Louis (1912-1962). The painting, housed at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, utilizes a vibrant palette of colors in a sweeping, dynamic composition. The colors are applied in a distinctive "veil" technique, a signature style of Louis's later career, creating a sense of depth and movement on the canvas. This work exemplifies Louis's exploration of pure color and form, a defining characteristic of the Washington Color School movement.
