The lithograph print poster is published by The Tel Aviv Museum, printed in Israel in 1981 in an unnumbered limited edition on the occasion of the exhibition. It features an Abstract Expressionist artwork image originally created by Louis in 1960 titled “ Flora II “, from The Tel Aviv Museum Collection.
A brilliat addition to to any serious fan/collector of Abstract Expressionism as this exhibition poster is long out of print and very scarce.
Morris Louis Bernstein ( 1912 - 1962 ) the American Abstract Expressionist Modernist painter of Russian Jewish descent became one of the earliest exponents and leading figures in the 1950’s of “ Color Field “ paintings, along with his Contemporaries Kenneth Noland and Helen Frankenthaler. He was one of the founding members of The Washington D.C. area painters known today as “ The Washington Color School “.
In his short yet prolific career, Louis continually experimented with method and medium, manipulating large canvases in creative ways to control the flow and stain of his paints. His mature style, characterized by layered veils and rivulets of poured paint on untreated canvases, make his paintings some of the most iconic works of Mid Century Modern Color Field Painting. Artworks by Louis are included in the collections of many of the world’s most prestigious museums.
The framed Abstract Expressionist exhibition poster measures 34 1/4” W X 28 3/4” H X 1 1/2” D. It is custom framed with UV protective plexiglass in a Contemporary Modern satin finish, weighted brass frame with an attached hanging wire on the reverse back side for easy wall installation.
