メトロポリタン美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (メトロポリタン美術館Instagram)「"I pour to experience the effect of gravity." — Sam Gilliam Celebrating the color field painter and lyrical abstractionist artist Sam Gilliam, who turns 87 today.✨ Must a painting be 2D? Made by dripping, smearing, staining, and splashing paint onto the raw canvas—a method Gilliam developed in the 1960s while at the Washington Color School—this is an early example of his signature "drape paintings." As a result of this novel process, colors often spread and merge in unexpected ways, something Gilliam described as an act of equilibrium when "the liquidity of the colors is reinforced by the fluidity of the canvas." Its final state of creation comes once it's installed—suspended from the wall, extending into space. 🎨 Sam Gilliam (American, 1933). Carousel State, 1968. © Sam Gilliam.
