  1. Color Field

  2. Color Field • Vast expanses or “fields” of color. • Color Field painting was invariably abstract and the canvases were huge, almost mural-sized.

  3. Mark Rothko • His often 8-foot high paintings consisting of two or three soft-edged, stacked rectangles. • He was interested in the relation between one color and another.

  4. Mark Rothko • Large patches of color seem to hover within their color fields. • Erasing all evidence of brushstrokes, he also eliminated recognizable subject matter.
