The one movement I would have to pick is the Color Field movement. This movement is a form Abstract Expressionism. It was pioneered in the late 1940s by three abstract painters, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Clifford Still who expressed a more immersive, smooth surfaces while rejecting figuration during the late 1940s and 1950s. This historical abstractionism featured large, stained, or painted of solid color, aiming for emotional, mythic, or purely aesthetic impact. I find this style of painting quite comforting in a way that just resonates with me on a personal level and taking these inspirations and putting it in my own creative ways to express my emotions with any different types of colors blend my feelings and the theme of my art accurately.
Lysander-1 by Jules Olitski (1970)
Orange and Yellow by Mark Rothko (1956)
These other two paintings are of my own work, I’m quite fond of the mixing in two or three colors together that fit the mood of my piece. In a way, I just express my love of color by incorporating a theme that works well together and giving the audience the narrative idea of my art, especially ideas that reflect calmness, tenderness, anxiety, fear, or even anger. Despite the fact I normally would draw figures, I can’t help but express colors in the background to give it a sense of a dramatic touch to it.
