This is one of Morris Louis’ most famous paintings as well as iconic paintings. It was part of his “Veil” series which included over 115 different pieces of work. Louis began this series in the mid 50’s and revisited it later in life (late 60’s). Louis created this piece in layers. He would apply one color to the raw canvas, let it draw and than apply another, he would continue until he got his desired result.
