The artwork titled “Faces” was created by artist Morris Louis in 1959. This piece belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and falls within the abstract genre. It is part of the “Veil” series.
The artwork features a composition dominated by multiple translucent layers of paint in muted tones. These layers appear to cascade vertically, creating a sense of depth and movement. The colors range from earthy browns to deep greens, with subtle variations and transitions between shades. The top edge of the artwork displays a slight, irregular outline, suggesting the rawness of the paint application process. This confluence of color and form creates an immersive visual experience characteristic of Louis’s contributions to the Color Field Painting movement.
