The Artist's Style
Gene Davis was a major figure in 20th-century American painting, known for his unique style that was characterized by vertical stripes of color. His paintings, including Triple Jump, are not based on conscious use of theories or formulas, but rather on spontaneity and improvisation. Davis often compared himself to a jazz musician who plays by ear, describing his approach to painting as 'playing by eye.'The Painting's Significance
Triple Jump is a significant work in the context of the Washington Color School, a loosely connected group of Washington painters who created abstract compositions in acrylic colors on unprimed canvas. The painting's complex scheme, with multiple stripes of different colors arranged vertically and horizontally, lends itself to sustained periods of viewing. As Davis suggested, "instead of simply glancing at the work, select a specific color—and take the time to see how it operates across the painting."- View more paintings by Gene Davis on OriginalUniqueArt.com
