Number 99, 1959–1960. Morris Louis (American, 1912–1962). Acrylic resin (Magna) on canvas; unframed: 251.3 x 360.5 cm (98 15/16 x 141 15/16 in.).

Louis is associated with the Washington Color School, a group of painters based in Washington, DC, during the 1960s and '70s. These artists tended to create large colorful compositions with repeated shapes, often using diluted paint. Astonishingly, Louis painted his large canvases in his modest 12 x 14-foot dining room.
