This stunning Modernist Untitled Color Field Oil Painting in Earth Tones signed Herbert MacDonald originates from the United States, Circa 1968. Features a rectangular composition in largely earth tones, a beautifully balances of thick and thin paint with areas of color expanding within the nature of their painterly application, common in color field painting and a highly explored type of abstraction in Mid-Century painting, particularly in the New York school and reminiscent of the paintings of Clyfford Still. One can observe the use of a brush to apply reserved areas of thinner paint, with palette knife impasto application of the lead white and yellow ocre moments, following a general guideline within painting of thickening lights and thinning darks, aligned with the physics and color theories of reflected light. A beautiful dance of color beautifully rendered, this painting will style well in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. With original gilt walnut gallery frame and in Excellent Vintage condition.
