Approach

"Approach" by Morris Louis (1962) exemplifies his mastery in Color field painting, a style characterized by large expanses of vibrant color that evoke emotional depth. Using Acrylic paints, Louis applies translucent washes, allowing underlying layers to subtly influence the surface. The work features expansive, Abstract forms that invite viewers to engage with the simplicity and intensity of his color arrangements. As a key figure of the Washington Color School, Louis's approach emphasizes the direct impact of color and form, creating an immersive visual experience.
