Gene Davis

Gene Davis (August 22, 1920 - April 6, 1985) was an American abstract painter and printmaker. Known for his bold and vibrant use of color, Davis's work is characterized by a distinct style of vertical stripes, often arranged in a grid-like format. His pieces often featured a limited color palette, with a single color or small selection of colors dominating the canvas. Davis's paintings exemplify Color Field painting, a movement of abstract art that emphasizes the use of color as the primary means of expression.
