Joanne Mattera blogs about Washington Color Painters Reconsidered at Loretta Howard Gallery, New York, on view through August 1, 2015.

Mattera notes that: "Taking advantage of the newly available acrylic paints at that time, [the Washington Color artists] created geometric compositions, often applying the pigmented polymer directly into unprimed canvas. Their coolly measured work was light years away from abstract expressionist angst."
