Painting Collection Gene Davis Untitled American, 1920-1985 Gene Davis is best known for his iconic stripe paintings. Born in Washington, the Color Field artist did not use any preparatory drawings in making his works. Instead, he relied on an intuitive process of bringing colors together to create the rhythmic patterns seen in this 1969 painting. On the process of experiencing his work, he wrote: “Look at the painting in terms of individual colors. In other words, instead of simply glancing at the work, select a specific color…and take the time to see how it operates across the painting. Approached this way, something happens, I can't explain it. But one must enter the painting through the door of a single color. And then, you can understand what my painting is all about.” |
