Colorfield Variations is a collection of
audio/visual works reinterpreting the
Color Field movement by an international
array of critically acclaimed sound and
new media artists and assembled by
curator and sound artist Richard
Chartier.
Color Field painting, an abstract style
that emerged as a new direction in
American painting in the 1950s following
Abstract Expressionism, is characterized
by canvases painted primarily with
stripes, washes and fields of solid
color. An alternate but less frequently
encountered term for this style is
chromatic abstraction. As the first
critically acclaimed art movement to
originate in the United StatesÆs
capital, the Washington Color School was
key to the larger Color Field movement.
As a reaction to the emotional energy
and gestural surfaces of Abstract
Expressionists, the Color Field artists
broke away from the individual mark in
favor of pure color itself becoming the
main content of the work. By breaking
painting down to its formal and
fundamental elements, the Color Field
artists created pure, simplified,
large-format, color-dominated fields on
often monumental scale utilizing the
full psychological power of color.
Artists such as Clyfford Still, Mark
Rothko, Barnett Newman, Morris Louis,
Kenneth Noland, Helen Frankenthaler, Sam
Gilliam, Larry Poons, Gene Davis, Jules
Olitski, and others eliminated
recognizable imagery from their canvas
and presented abstraction as an end in
itself with each work being a cohesive
image. The Color Field movement can be
seen as a precursor to the themes and
aesthetics of the subsequent Minimalist
movement.
