Large variety CINDY SHERMAN "DOCTOR AND NURSE" DIPTYCH, 1980

As a leading figure of the Color Field movement in the 1960s, Kenneth Noland (1924–2010) made an essential contribution to American abstraction. His iconic works feature signature forms, including concentric circles, patterned chevrons, and grids.

In 1978, he began a particularly intense and fruitful period of creating at Tyler Graphics in Bedford, New York. He became an active printmaker and papermaker, working with different techniques and styles that defied conventional approaches.  

This example from the Circle I-35 series is a paradigm of both Noland's printmaking and aesthetic. The work is composed of five layers of colored pulp with elements of lithography printing. The vibrant celadon green in the center creates a glowing orb against the vanila background. The result is both alluring and hypnotic.
