Triple Jump

"Triple Jump" by Gene Davis (1962) exemplifies his mastery of Abstract art through vibrant, dynamic bands of color. Davis, a prominent figure in the Color field painting movement, employs precise, overlapping stripes that create a rhythmic sense of motion, reminiscent of an athletic leap. The title suggests a metaphorical or physical leap, aligning with Davis’s energetic technique and focus on pure color and form. As a key artist of the period, Davis’s work emphasizes boldness and movement, celebrating the simplicity and power of color in Color field painting style.
