About the Item
Kenneth Noland (1924 – 2010) is renowned for his contribution to American abstraction. He is also one of the key artists of color-field painting. Unlike some of his contemporaries, Noland worked with printmaking for a handful of years.
Noland's work, regardless of medium, is characterized by geometric abstraction and a very broad palette, ranging from bold, saturated colors to pale phantom ones. His most iconic works feature re-occurring forms; most notably concentric circles, patterned stripes or bands, grids and diamonds.
In 1967 Noland began a series of horizontal striped paintings, foregoing his previous asymmetrical, circular, and irregularly shaped canvases. Conventional-shaped or positioned canvases were chosen to emphasize color interaction as focus.
'Bands' is a striking example of Noland's printmaking. Unlike his contemporaries who made editions in a wide range of sizes, Noland almost exclusively produced monotypes (or unique prints).
This evocative work is composed of alternating bands of pastel colors with paper pulp exposed between the bands. Here, Noland challenges the strict geometric lines that defined his minimalist 60's band compositions, overwhelming the structure with color shifts and rugged deckled edges. The Miami-esque pastel palette appears sponged onto the tiers with intentional distressing and flecks of darker/contrasting colors overtop for added texture. Shades of mauve, lavender, peach, sea-foam green, and turquoise and baby blues shift into and out of each other within the vertically layered bands.
Noland's striped bands are some of the most iconic and desirable works within the 20th century art canon. This piece is a fine example of one of Noland's creations, and a demonstration of his ingenuity and unique style as a printmaker.

Kenneth Noland
Kenneth Noland was an American painter. He was known as one of the best American color field painters, although in the 1950's he was thought of as an abstract expressionist and in the 1960's as a minimalist painter. He is most famously known for his target paintings. Noland also helped establish the Washington Color School movement.

Located in Toronto, Ontario
Kenneth Noland (1924 – 2010) is one of the most important artists and contributors to the evolution of American abstraction. He is one of the most beloved and enduring figures in the Color-Field movement.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, such as Helen Frankenthaler and Sam Gilliam, Noland nearly rejected printmaking until later in his career. And once Noland began collaborating with the printmakers at Tyler Graphics (and other studios) he was more interested in using their applications to make unique one-of-a-kind artworks.
This unique and intimately-scaled monotype is an excellent example of Noland's signature forms and aesthetic from the late 1970s/early 1980s. The chevron was a frequently employed motif of his, first debuting around 1963 and realized repeatedly through the years in different styles and medium.
Here, Noland dissolves the strict geometric lines of his signature chevron or pointed "V", overwhelming the structure with color that appears to be either smeared, splattered or scraped. Lavender, pale rose, mauve, cornflower, chartreuse, ocean blue, ivory and pearl shift into and out of each other, yet avoiding the clear-cut stacked triangular outline of his signature chevron arrangement.
Noland's chevrons are some of the most iconic and desirable works in the 20th-century art canon. This piece is a fine example of one of Noland's creations that showcases his ingenuity and mastery of color.
