“Beth Zayin” is an artwork by Morris Louis, created in 1959. This piece, executed in acrylic on canvas, belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is part of the “Veil” series. It has dimensions of 252.8 x 361.4 cm and is an abstract work.
The artwork features a large field of color, primarily consisting of vertical, overlapping washes that create a veiled effect. The palette predominantly includes dark, somber hues, with subtle traces of brighter colors peeking through at the edges. The fluidity of the acrylic medium is evident, as the colors appear to merge seamlessly into one another, forming a cohesive yet complex visual experience. This composition evokes a sense of depth and movement, characteristic of Morris Louis’s approach to abstract expressionism and his exploration of color and form.
