Terry Winters: Patterns in a Chromatic Field

"Terry Winters: Patterns in a Chromatic Field" unveils a new body of work by the celebrated abstract painter. With these 17 paintings, reproduced here for the first time, Winters (born 1949) further develops his research into the optical and psychological capacities of oil paint. His layering of color and form echoes the abstracting processes of contemporary science and technology, allowing each canvas to open up new avenues of perception and physical experience. As Suzanne Hudson explains in the book's essay, Winters' paintings are "wholly intended works, based not upon pre-existing matrices or a-compositional methods but on necessities that accumulate and progress as the painting is brought into being." Along with Hudson's essay, the book features extensive illustrations, including full-scale details of the canvases, as well as new photographs of the Winters studio in upstate New York.
