More Color as Field at Smithsonian American Art Museum
"Color as Field: American Painting, 1950-1975," opens Feb. 29.
The exhibition covers the movement in abstract art that focused on thinned paint poured, painted and spread to soak into unprimed canvases to create a simple wash of color. Some of the movement's stars, such as Sam Gilliam and Gene Davis, were based in Washington (and were celebrated with a citywide ColorField.remix festival not too long ago), but this show at Smithsonian American Art Museum will look beyond our local scene, to include Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and a slew of others.
Free. 11:30 a.m.-7 p.m. daily Feb. 29-May 26. Eighth and F streets NW, Washington, DC USA 202-633-1000.

This intriguing exhibit demonstrates that Mr. Gilliam is never far from new ideas and remains close to his Color Field paintings and earlier geometric forms. Fortunately, he knows how to give them different twists.
