Larry Poons (b. 1937)2022-07-162022-07-16SCH95.001https://hdl.handle.net/10177/20416A major American modernist, Poons is best known for his abstract paintings of oval forms distributed on a color field. This painting is from a later "archaeological period" of his work, in which he explored the drip and splatter techniques of Jackson Pollock, carrying these Abstract Expressionist techniques to an extreme--building the paint surface to a thick, textured crust suggestive of hardened lava. He poured and flowed the pigments onto large unstretched canvases, then cut them into segments that became separate paintings such as this one.Image92" x 26.75"PaintingAcrylic on canvasFor use information see: http://www.willamette.edu/arts/hfma/collections/copyright.html
