Colour Field Painting

Color Field Painting is an art movement focused on large, expansive areas of color that create a sense of space and emotion. Unlike detailed or textured artworks, these paintings emphasize pure, flat fields of color to evoke feelings or moods. Artists use simple shapes and unbroken surfaces to encourage viewers to experience the color itself, often conveying a sense of calm, intensity, or spirituality. This style emerged in the 1940s and 1950s, pushing art toward minimalism and emphasizing the power of hue and form over representational imagery.
