1959
In 1953, Noland visited Frankenthaler's studio in New York together with his colleague, Morris Louis, through the introduction of the art critic Clement Greenberg. That they saw her paintings by staining on this occasion had great influence on their subsequent works in Color Field Painting. After the visit, Noland worked with fluid forms for a few years, and then from 1958 to 1963 he produced paintings with concentric circles. This work is from that series. The emphasis on his art education at Black Mountain College, in the tradition of the Bauhaus and Constructivism, was on the relationships of colors rather than on geometric composition. Though the circles have been drawn with the use of compasses and dinner plates, the brilliance of their colors, the spatterings of paint, and the uncertain outlines indicate that the painting inherits Abstract Expressionism's spontaneity in form and color. Noland advocated "one shot painting" which can be taken in in one glance, and this concept epitomizes this artist's emphasis on the immediacy of experience, an element which bridges Abstract Expressionism and Minimal Art.
