Tiger
Color Field Painting
1953
205.0 x 217.0 cm
Five rectangles, each in a single, saturated hue of canary yellow, watermelon pink, blood orange, bright white, or ink black, fit together to make a nearly square abstract painting. In rectangles of descending sizes, the yellow, pink, and orange shapes create a band across the top of the composition. The bottom three-quarters of the composition is made up of the white and black vertical rectangles. The white form takes up two-thirds of the left side, and is topped by the yellow shape. The black rectangle is narrower, and it fills in the space below the pink and orange forms above.
