Thomas Downing
(1928-1985)
Thomas Downing was a member of the Washington Color School that included artists Morris Louis, Gene Davis, and Ken Noland. He believed that color was the most important element of the painting and used minimal geometric forms (most noted the circle) to hold the color on the canvas. Downing participated in numerous group and one-man exhibitions throughout the United States in both museums and private galleries. The Whitney Museum of American Art, Hirshhorn Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Art are just a few examples of institutes that have Downing paintings in their permanent collections. |
