 Kenneth Noland - April
Noland found that the geometry of concentric circles gave him freedom to concentrate on the volatility of color.
The development of Noland's Concentric Circles series was inspired by a myriad of sources, one of the earliest being the art and theories of Josef Albers, who was Noland’s teacher at Black Mountain College in North Carolina.
Noland derived the idea of working in a series with a single motif to explore the expressive potential of color from Albers's own series, Homage to the Square.

 Kenneth Noland - Untitled
The mood of Noland’s paintings changes depending on the selection and textures of the colors, and the primary function of shape in Noland’s art is to serve as a vehicle for expressive color, with no particular allusion beyond itself.
Noland finds a balance between structure and color in Untitled, where the central chevron is thoroughly integrated within the square.
Noland’s experiments with the chevron design were varied—he also rendered asymmetrical chevron pictures, where the shape was tipped to one side or placed off center.

 Kenneth Noland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kenneth Noland (born April 10, 1924) is an American painter.
He is identified today as one of the best-known contemporary American Color field painters, although in the 1950s he was thought of as an abstract expressionist and in the early 1960s he was thought of as a Minimalist painter.
Noland’s preoccupation with the relationship of the image to the containing edge of the picture led him to a series of studies of concentric rings, or bull’s-eyes, using unlikely color combinations.

 Kenneth Noland - Bio
Kenneth Noland, along with Morris Louis, transmitted the energy, excitement, and inventiveness of the New York art scene to artists in Washington, D.C. Born in Asheville, North Carolina in 1924, Noland served in the Army from 1942 to 1945.
Noland frequently returned to Black Mountain College, where in the summer of 1950 he met artist Helen Frankenthaler and Clement Greenberg, the noted critic, who became a champion of his art.
This encounter was critical in the development of Noland’s artistic style; as he began experimenting with Frankenthaler’s pouring and staining techniques, which became the impetus for his own color field paintings, abstract canvases saturated with pure color.

In his long and distinguished career, Kenneth Noland has become recognized as one of the finest masters of color after Matisse.
Asserting that rectangularity, strong intense lozenge-like elements appear, in blue at the upper right, a deeper blue "x" or cross at the lower left, and an orange-red and a green float in the almost white center of the target itself.
Noland’s paintings shimmer and vibrate, underscoring the often-voiced comparison between them to musical harmonies and rhythms.

Noland's ability to renew his art has been one of the rare excitements offered by contemporary art over the past half century.
I haven't written about Noland's development as a biographical narrative ­ Diane Waldman's catalog introduction for his retrospective exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in 1977 does that too completely to bear repeating ­ and it's impossible to properly acknowledge my debt to the pioneering writers on Noland: Clement Greenberg, Ken worth Moffett, and Michael Fried.
Kenneth Noland's painting is immediate in the extreme, so much so that detractors suggest that it gratifies all too quickly, that it appeals only to the senses and not to the mind, that it offers little beyond the instant of appreciation.

 Kenneth Noland at Ameringer/Howard - acrylic painting - Brief Article - Review Art in America - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In this handsome group of 11 new acrylic works, Noland reveals the methods that go into making them: brushstrokes are evident, and the density of paint varies, often leaving visible a delicate pencil line.
It may be that Noland is once again devoting himself to the target format precisely because the composition's forthright self-sufficiency allows him to concentrate on the juxtaposition and application of hue.
The consistent compositional structure is reinvigorated from work to work by intense color, which often overlaps its defining graphite line, and by the varied handling of paint, which ranges from near transparency to effects plainly achieved with spray and brush.

 Kenneth Noland
In his paintings of the late 1950 's and early 60 's, Kenneth Noland used circles and chevrons for their familiarity as forms, to serve as carriers for his explorations of what colors can do, and the effects of stained color on unsized canvas.
Like many other artists before him, Noland has taken up again one of his key images as a structure to carry his ongoing pursuit of other aspects of painting: Translucency and pearlescence, the timely counterpoint of opacity and luminescence.
It is with joy that the gallery presents this exhibition of Kenneth Noland's recent work.

 Kenneth Noland. Apuntes sobre su vida
El respeto a los bordes del soporte es otra de las constantes en la obra de Noland que, en ocasiones, ha alterado el formato tradicional para trabajar a partir de configuraciones extrañas, pero nada caprichosas, y sí basadas en las necesidades estructurales de la obra que aborda.
Y Noland prefiere utilizar imágenes existentes, entre lo simbólico y lo publicitario, cuya cotidianidad evita la especulación filosófica, la metafísica superflua que sistemáticamente rechaza la pintura como componente de su quehacer artístico.
Noland no rehuye el signo asequible, casi banal, que trasciende al trabajarlos en su propio lenguaje, especulando con sus posibilidades pictóricas, apropiándose de ellos y evitando significados que le distraigan de su aventura artística.

 [No title]
First gaining notice in the late 1950s, Kenneth Noland was a member of the group of Color Field abstract painters promoted by New York "Times" critic, Clement Greenberg.
Noland began with a series of luminous, stained canvases of concentric circles, and focused on the center of the picture, which he regarded as symbolizing all possibilities and the specific genius of the work.
With his concentric circles surrounding the "bulls eye," he combined a staining method that softened the acrylic paint o (showing 500 of 2805 characters).

Working in Washington, D.C. in the late 1950s, both Noland and his contemporary Morris Louis used the stain-painting technique of applying fluid color to raw canvas adapted from Helen Frankenthaler.
Noland first worked with targets and chevrons of color echoing the shape of the stretched canvas, later switching to painting horizontal bands of color.
In the early 1980s, Noland returned to the shaped canvas, introducing irregular and asymmetrical shapes.

His experiments with form, medium and scale radically redefined the notion of painting and his technical and formal innovations have remained influential to succeeding generations of artists around the world.
Varying in colour, number and width, the bands of colour across the length of the canvas became the sole means of defining the dimensions of the painting.
