Minimalism

Kenneth Noland (1924 – 2010)
Kenneth Noland oli merkittävä yhdysvaltalainen Color Field -maalari ja Washington Color Schoolin edustaja. Hänen tunnetuimmat teoksensa ovat värikkäät ympyrät, vinot ja muotoilut, jotka mullistivat abstraktin taiteen ja tutkivat värin luonnetta sekä tilaa.
October belongs to the first of Noland’s two extended explorations of the elemental shape of the circle. Placing the large canvas on his studio’s floor (in knowing emulation of Jackson Pollock’s method), he drew the edge of each circle with a pencil attached to a string and anchored in the center. The canvas’s dimensions determined the size of the outermost circle, suggesting Noland’s preoccupation with proportional relationships, a concern often associated with Minimalism. The painter accentuated the flatness of the unprimed canvas by diluting his acrylic paint so the weave would absorb it (a technique he adopted after seeing Helen Frankenthaler’s stained canvases). The concentric circles evoke a range of associations—a bull’s-eye, a globe, a giant eyeball—while the density near the center suggests a gravitational pull.
