		For if the counterpoint of color as weight and color as recession/advance in the "target" paintings of the late '50s and early '60s remains striking, though in a somewhat academic way, Noland's wall-length horizontal stripe paintings, such as Via Blues, 1967, are as centrifugal as the earlier paintings were centripetal.
		Color Field painting might now be better called an art of the factitious or "virtual real." Its stubborn attachment to illusion, even in the absence of representation, makes what looked like the wrong turn thirty years ago feel surprisingly relevant.
		It was only toward the end of the decade that Poons began pouring and pushing his paint to arrive at a facture equally distant from the manual and from the mechanical, a mode typical of Color Field.

		Color field painting in general is characterized by large areas of color.
		Color field painting involves an openness of structure, anonymity of brushstroke and accent on large and pure fields of color.

	JS Online: Color-field painting is again making a splash
		Part of the allure of color-field painting, as practiced by Frankenthaler and her very limited circle, is its economy of means, coupled with a maximization of effect.
		But painting has survived its period of neglect to bloom anew, and Jules Olitski, at 82, is suddenly "a hot young artist" all over again.
		The vast paintings, created on the floor of the bank during Frankenthaler's heyday in the 1970s, were long ago taken down and sold off to an unknown purchaser.

		Art patronage decidedly tends toward Minimalist art, yet color field painting seems to be regaining its lost popularity.
		While Minimalist art deliberately appears to detach itself from wealth and power, color field painting suggests a richness of weight and color that provides the viewer with an overwhelming visual experience.
		Color field painting and 'sculpitecture,' a form that evolved from color field painting, are epitomes of the decadent art that was typical of the 1960s.

	ArtForum: Virtually formal - formalism in recent color-field paintings by various artists - Cover Story
		Bodiliness is both suggested and withheld in other ways: Calame relies on paint spills marring her studio floor as source material for her work's hyperintricate shapes; Prieto's color forms sit and sag atop one another as if weighted and gravity-bound.
		Appel's paintings, based on cropped views of color-coordinated '50s-style interiors, are the most devoutly planar and geometric, and yet their references to domesticity, thus to creature comforts and animal needs, make pointed the absence of any trace of flesh-and-blood inflection (picturing illusionistic depth obviously distinguishes his work).
		If indeed earlier formalists sought to "dematerialize" painting, their aim was to consolidate rather than disperse their medium's identity, to make coincidental pictorial means and ends; poured paint and stained canvas were seen to fuse visual effect with its production, image with material.

		Color field painting, which emerged in the United States in the 1950s, is characterized by pouring, staining, or spraying thinned paint onto raw canvas, creating vast chromatic expanses.
		Surprisingly, there has not been a major exhibition or book to date that has examined the color field artists as a group or color field painting—its sources, meaning, and impact.
		Color as Field, encompassing approximately fifty large-scale canvases, will present a remarkable opportunity for viewers to fully comprehend the aims of these artists, view their finest works in close relation to each other, and experience the beauty and visual magnetism of their pictorial handling of space and color.

		Abstract Expressionists synthesized numerous sources from the history of modern painting, ranging from the expressionism of Vincent van Gogh to the abstraction of Kandinsky, from the saturated color fields of Henri Matisse to the organic forms and fascination with the psychological unconscious of the surrealist Joan Miro.
		Finally, there is stain painting, which should be regarded as a subset of color-field painting: artists such as Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis would stain their unprimed canvases by pouring paint rather than brushing it on, usually while working on the floor instead of on an easel or wall.

		The structure of color fields interested some to the Abstract Expressionist, while others such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning it was the gesture application of paint that was most important.
		Playing the scientific rules of color, cool color recede and warm color advances, against the characteristics of linear perspective, that things grow smaller as the recede into the distance, he creates a tension that gives the viewer a sensation of movement.
		The pluralism of the 1980’s rejuvenated the art scene and put to rest the speculation that “painting was dead.” Several artists, including Frank Stella, Judy Pfaff, and Elizabeth Murray, have obscured the lines between painting, sculpture, and installations by radically changing the shapes of their canvases.

		Coming after the abstract expressionism of the 1950s, color-field painting represents a sharp change from the earlier movement.

		Painters associated with the movement include Ellsworth Kelly, Jules Olitski, Kenneth Noland, Frank Stella, and Morris Louis.
