"Color Field painting, which emerged in the United States in the 1950s, is based on radiant, uninflected hues. Exemplified by the work of Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, Larry Poons, and Frank Stella, among others, these stunningly beautiful and impressively scaled paintings constitute one of the crowning achievements of postwar American abstract art. [This book] offers a long-overdue reevaluation of this important aspect of American abstract painting." (dj) With an essay by Carl Betz and an introduction by Karen Wilkin.
