Omega I 1960

"Omega I" is a 1960 painting by American artist Morris Louis, known for his colorful and abstract works. The painting features a series of horizontal and diagonal bands of color on a light background, creating a vibrant and dynamic composition. This work exemplifies Louis’s signature “Veil” technique, where he poured thinned acrylic paint onto a horizontal canvas, allowing the colors to bleed and interact. Louis’s vibrant and gestural approach to abstract painting was an important contribution to the Color Field movement.
