About Elysian Fields

“Elysian Fields,” created by Alma Woodsey Thomas in 1973, is an abstract piece associated with the Color Field Painting movement. The artwork, representative of Thomas’s vibrant and meticulous style, exhibits a rhythmic pattern of bold blue shapes against a white background. The composition is characterized by irregular, mosaic-like forms that are densely packed yet meticulously separated, creating a dynamic and visually stimulating effect.

The artwork encompasses a variety of blue shapes that appear as though meticulously placed upon the canvas. These shapes are chaotic yet systematically organized, separated by thin white lines that give a sense of both structure and spontaneity. The composition evokes a sense of harmony and rhythm, reminiscent of natural patterns or celestial constellations, embodying the artist’s unique vision within the abstract genre. The overall effect is a mesmerizing interplay of color and form, inviting viewers to engage with its deliberate yet seemingly organic arrangement.
