Kenneth Noland

🔳Kenneth Noland (April 10, 1924 – January 5, 2010) was an American painter. 

He was one of the best-known American Color Field painters, although in the 1950s he was thought of as an abstract expressionist and in the early 1960s he was thought of as a minimalist painter.

Most of Noland's paintings fall into one of four groups: circles (or targets), chevrons, stripes and shaped canvases. 

Noland applied Josef Albers's theory of "the interaction of colors" to his own compositions, which explore the relationships between contrasting or complementary colors; painted in thin yet opaque layers, each tone reveals its particular characteristic weight, density, and transparency.
