The Black Rainbow
1959–1960

An abstract painting featuring dark, concentric arcs with a textured black and gray palette. The phrase "THE BLACK RAINBOW" is scrawled in white at the top, with white drips descending from the letters. Hints of brown and tan colors emerge from beneath the darker layers in the lower arcs.
