Alpha Epsilon 1960

"Alpha Epsilon" is a vibrant abstract painting by Morris Louis, created in 1960. This work is an example of Color Field painting, a style that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, characterized by its use of large areas of flat color. Louis achieved this effect by pouring thinned paint onto a canvas, allowing the colors to blend and interact in an almost accidental way. This piece, currently housed at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles, showcases the artist's experimentation with color and form, captivating viewers with its dynamic interplay of vibrant hues.
