This work, "#1" from 1976, is a wonderful example of Noland at his best! Kenneth Noland worked in series, meaning that the structure that was used to compose his color paintings was relegated to a defined format. The first format to emerge in the late 1950's were the circle paintings followed in the early 1960's by the chevrons.

This work is from the strip series, which started mid to late 1960's. Although lacking the traditional objects of a figurative paining, this work reads as a wonderful meditative introspective painting. The ground of the work is a soft grey blue and the strips float above. The top most stripe is a very light grey with a thin band of white separating it from the the next wider strip of pink below. The next red strip is separated from all strips by the grey blue ground as is the white strip on the bottom. The structure of the strips, as well as the color choice, is very well executed. The work is also very large, with a sheet size of 34" x 34" and a frame size of 41" x 41".
