Color Field Painting is an abstract art movement that emerged in the 1940s and 1950s, primarily in the United States. It focuses on large areas of color applied to canvas, emphasizing the emotional and sensory experience of color itself rather than representational forms. Artists often used flat, unmodulated colors to create a sense of depth and space. Key figures in this movement include Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, and Helen Frankenthaler. Their works often feature expansive fields of color that invite viewers to engage with the artwork on a personal level, encouraging contemplation and emotional response.
