Artist such as Clifford Still, Mark Roth, Morris Louis, Kenneth Nolan, Helen Fraternally, Leon Borrowing, Frank Stella and Others eliminated recognizable imagery from their canvas and presented abstraction as an end in itself with each painting as one unified, cohesive, monolithic image. Helen Fraternally is often identified mainly with her fragile, luminous Mountains and Seas of 1953. The early sass was the period of serial painting. Helen Fraternally was one artist who chose not follow critical requirement to develop and explore a dominant signature image.
At the time Fraternally was quested by collectors to sign her paintings on the front of the picture rather than the back. They requested this to be done so worker would be more identifiable by the collectors and their friends. In today’s decade Freakishness’s paintings do not need a visible signature in order to allow collectors to identify her works as hers. Her combination of style, techniques, and stained colors has gradually increased over the years.
For many years, when Helen was little known, she insisted on painting on large-scale canvases, even though there was little chance of selling them in a world which as not yet willing to commit important uvula space to her art (Memories, 2004. 29). The significance of the painting is tests the limits of how completely art can address peoples emotions and mind through the eye, just like music through the ear, without the need of help to interpret. Painting is an important aspect Of American culture.
As described by Clement Greenberg painting describes large-scale canvases dominated by flat expanses of color and having a minimum Of surface detail I would describe painting as unique artworks that expresses ones intellectual ability to see certain objects in their point of view. This artwork subject matter is color and proportion, which has a pure impact on viewers sensibilities. The concept of Color Field painting was to separate this type of work from the earlier work of Abstract Expressionism.
This means that the artists did not want the painting from Color Field to be classified as Abstract Expressionism. Materials used in Color Field painting are unprimed canvases and other supplies, Fraternally adopted Pollock’s practice of pouring thinned-out pigment onto unprimed canvas, but instead of skeins and tangles, she created fluid lines and breading pools tot pale color. She fused painting and drawing without resorting to conventional painting or drawing marks What I think have learned about Color Field painting is that just because it may look easy does not mean it is easy.
For example, my experience in trying to recreate the Mark Roth painting “Orange and Tan” was very challenging. Thought that just because it looked easy could recreate it, but could not. There were more than just the 2 colors I seen. There was about 3 or 4 different colors, not including the color variations and hues. The color varied from orange, light orange, dark orange, red, light red, dark red, and a little amount of black. Therefore, decided not to try to recreate Mark Rotator’s ‘Orange and Tan” painting.
Instead recreated Helen Fraternally “Air Frame, which thought was little bit less challenging. The situation that help me understand Helen Frankfurters artwork a little was the use of colors and variation of the shapes present. Color Field painting is a type of contemporary art. It is also is Postmodern. It qualifies as Postmodern because it occurred in the sass and sass. Believe southernism describes movements which react against, and arise from trends in modernism. Some specific trends of modernism are medium specificity, authenticity, and originality.
Postmodern abstraction highlights ways that abstract painting references the world (Perry,2005, 20). Postmodernism is to recall traditional elements of style. It is also a reaction to the most profound spiritual and philosophical crises of our time-the failure of the Enlightenment (Powell,2007, Another Color Field artist is Mark Roth. Mark Roth was a painter that emerged from the early sass. His work is best known because of his accurate attention to formal elements such as color, shape, balance, depth, composition, and scale.
In these terms, measure is to color as scale is to size-something experiential, a subjective response rather than an objective (Infamy, 1998). Color Piled painting initially referred to a particular type of abstract expressionism, especially the work of Mark Roth, Clifford Still, Barnett Newman, Robert Motherly and Adolph Goodliest. Art critic Clement Greenberg perceived Color Field painting as related to but different from Action painting. Color Field painting sought to rid art Of superfluous rhetoric.
Artists like Clifford Still, Mark Roth, Hans Hofmann, Morris Louis, Jules Elitist. Kenneth Nolan, Helen Fraternally, Larry Zoo and others often used greatly reduced references to nature. They painted with a highly articulated and psychological use of color. In general these artists eliminated recognizable imagery. Certain artists quoted references to past or present art, but in general Color Field painting presents abstraction as an end in itself. In pursuing this direction of modern art, artists anted to present each painting as one unified, cohesive, monolithic image.
