Declaring space : Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein

by Michael Auping

This illustrated study explores the evolution of colour field painting during the 1950s and 1960s. It examines how four international artists redefined abstract art through their unique approaches to flat, unmodulated space and colour.
