Color Field Painting

Color Field Painting is an art movement from the mid-20th century that emphasizes large, expressive areas of color to evoke emotion and meditative contemplation. Unlike detailed or complex images, these works focus on expansive, flat fields of hue, inviting viewers to experience color's raw emotional power. Artists sought to create immersive environments through subtle shifts in tone and intense color relationships, often using minimal composition. It emphasizes the sensory impact of color itself, encouraging personal interpretation and a direct, visceral connection between the artwork and the viewer.
