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.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Contemporary Collection of The Cleveland Museum of Art 1968.110 © Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Rights Administered by Artist Rights Society (ARS), New York, All Rights Reserved. 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.
