About Tet

The artwork, titled “Tet,” is an abstract piece by artist Morris Louis, created in 1958. It belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is part of the “Veil” series. Executed on canvas, it measures 241.3 by 388.62 cm and is housed in the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, NY, US.

In this piece, the artist employs a technique that causes broad, translucent swathes of color to flow downward, creating a veiled effect. The composition features a predominantly cool palette, with shades of blue, green, and violet blending seamlessly. The colors appear to cascade and overlap, resulting in an ethereal and harmonious visual effect. The artwork’s large dimensions allow the viewer to become immersed in its soothing and expansive color fields.
