Morris Louis Louisiana (1975)

Louisiana exhibition poster poster with work by the American artist, Morris Louis, (1912-62). Morris Louis belonged to the new generation of 'colorfield painters' that emerged in New York after World War II. Louisiana received several works as a gift from Louis' widow, Marcella Louis Brenner, after an exhibition at the museum in 1975.

It is said of Morris Louis' work that he is one of the few artists of this century who has helped change the development of painting.

With Louis, a completely autonomous, abstract painting emerges for the first time. Like his contemporary Jackson Pollock, Louis was part of an experimental working group in New York, where the members worked with the methods of automatic painting.

The 'colorfield' method characterizes a painting in which the color is detached from any form and occupies the canvas without limitations.
