Morris Louis (born Morris Louis Bernstein, 28 November 1912 – 7 September 1962) was an American Abstract expressionist Painter. During the 1950s he became one of the earliest exponents of Color Field painting. Living in Washington D.C. Louis,
along with Kenneth Noland and other Washington painters formed an art movement that is known today as the Washington Color School
The basic point about Louis’s work and that of other Color Field painters, sometimes known as the Washington color School in contrast to most of the other new approaches of the late
1950s and early 1960s, is that they greatly simplified the idea of what constitutes
