Mauve-Blue I

Russian-born American artist Jules Olitski was best known for his contribution to the development of Color Field painting in the 1960s. Throughout his career, he investigated the nature of the surface painting, and experimented with alternative methods and materials, including industrial spray guns, and dragging or layering various paint types on his canvases. Many of his works evoke a hazy, ethereal world through thin and light paint application, while others utilize a heavy impasto for a sculptural effect.
