Untitled Purple, White and Red, 1953, by Mark Rothko
Color Field 类的作品大家一定不陌生。Color Field 始于1940s in New York, 属于现代抽象主义和表现主义运动的一部分。但是”Color Field“本身没有特别含意。正如画家Jules Olitski所说:
“I don't know what Color Field painting means. I think it was probably invented by some critic, which is okay, but I don't think the phrase means anything. Color Field painting? I mean, what is color? Painting has to do with a lot of things. Color is among the things it has to do with. It has to do with surface. It has to do with shape, It has to do with feelings which are more difficult to get at.”
