Color
Field painting, influenced by Matisse, Fauvism, and
Surrealism was relatively inert and bare. Color applied
to flat surfaces suggests an overall calm, meditative
otherworldly place. The goal was to eliminate all
obstacles between the artist and the idea, and between
the idea and the viewer.
There is no attempt at representation
in the narrative sense; the subject is color.
