Gamma Lambda

“Gamma Lambda” by Morris Louis is a monumental Color Field painting characterized by expansive horizontal bands of color – primarily blue, green, and white – juxtaposed against a pristine white canvas. Employing Magna paint staining technique, Louis achieved a seamless surface devoid of brushstrokes, reflecting the influence of Cézanne and pioneering abstraction.
