About Atmospheric Effects II

“Atmospheric Effects II,” an abstract artwork created by Alma Woodsey Thomas in 1972, belongs to the Color Field Painting movement. The artwork exemplifies Thomas’s distinctive style, characterized by vivid, bold, and harmonious use of color.

The artwork consists of several vertical bands of color arranged in a visually striking pattern. Dominating the composition is a large expanse of deep blue, which occupies the left and central portions of the piece. To the right, narrower vertical bands of purple, green, yellow, red, and magenta contrast starkly with the predominant blue. The colors are applied with a painterly texture, highlighting the vibrancy and energy of each hue. The combination of bold stripes and saturated colors evokes a sense of rhythm and movement, encapsulating the essence of Color Field Painting.
