About Dalet Kaf

“Dalet Kaf” is an abstract artwork created by Morris Louis in 1959, utilizing acrylic on canvas. This piece belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is part of the “Veil” series. Currently, it is housed at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth in Texas, United States.

The artwork features a complex interplay of layered, translucent colors that cascade vertically across the canvas. The subtle gradations of hues and the softness of the transitions create an impression of layered veils or drapes. The color palette includes rich yet muted tones such as dark greens, browns, and purples, intermingled with splashes of brighter colors like yellows and blues, providing depth and movement. The composition evokes a sense of serenity and immensity, characteristic of Louis’ exploration of color and form within the abstract genre.
