Lot Essay

“Noland ranks with Delacroix and the Impressionist among the great color painters of the modern era. Unquestionably heir to Matisse and Klee in the realm of color expression, he is to his generation what they were to their own.” (D. Waldman, Kenneth Noland: A Retrospective, New York, 1977, p. 36)
