Printmaking

James Brooks was an American abstract painter associated with postwar Color Field painting. Working primarily in oil on canvas, he developed a distinctive approach to gestural abstraction that emphasized luminous color relationships and spontaneous mark-making. His practice evolved through the 1950s and 1960s as he refined a visual vocabulary of organic, flowing forms set against expansive grounds. Brooks' work remains central to mid-century American abstraction.
