Stripe Drawing Executed While Thinking of the Drawing, of Sex, of Food, of an Enemy, of Sleep, of Death

Gene Davis was an American painter associated with the Color Field movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Working primarily in acrylic on canvas, he developed a distinctive vocabulary of vertical stripes in vivid, carefully calibrated hues that created optical vibration and spatial illusion. His paintings eschew representational content entirely, instead treating color relationships and rhythm as the primary subject.
