A New Look at mid-twentieth century Color Field painting This book casts new light on mid-twentieth century Color Field painting from the perspective of the artists' ambitions for the future of abstract painting. Color Field became a convenient, albeit imperfect term to describe paintings in which vast areas of color appear as the dominant force. Color Field was not an art movement, rather it was a cohort of likeminded artists. While the American Abstract Expressionists cleared a path for this postwar generation to forge ahead with abstract painting, their achievements also challenged artists such as Frank Bowling, Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Gilliam, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, Larry Poons, Frank Stella and Alma Thomas, to create abstraction anew. Experimenting with non-traditional painting mediums and methods, as well as these artists' probing of the conventions of painting led to unprecedented works. The book's title Glory of the World takes its cue from the writings of Frank Stella on the influential artist and teacher Hans Hofmann whose glorious and exalted abstract paintings, produced solely through the straightforward manipulation of pigment, set a high bar for this generation's aspirations.
