Number 1-82

Morris Louis's 1961 work, Number 1-82, exemplifies the style of Color field painting within the Abstract genre. As an influential artist associated with the Abstract Expressionism movement, Louis is renowned for his innovative technique using Acrylic paints on Canvas.

This piece demonstrates his mastery in creating expansive, luminous gradients that evoke emotional resonance through abstract, large-scale works.
