The artwork titled “Earth Sermon, Beauty, Love and Peace” was created by Alma Woodsey Thomas in 1971. It belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is classified under the abstract genre.
The artwork features a series of vertical stripes composed of small, irregularly shaped blocks of color. The vibrant hues dominate the composition, with shades of red, yellow, green, blue, and orange prominently displayed. Each stripe is distinct in color yet unified in the rhythmic, mosaic-like pattern they create. The overall effect is one of harmony and vibrancy, capturing the essence of beauty and peace suggested in the title. The arrangement of colors creates a dynamic and lively visual experience, exemplifying the abstract nature and emotional impact characteristic of the Color Field Painting movement.
