A variety of geometric shapes and lines intersect and overlap across the canvas. Prominent shapes include circles and trapezoids. The lines suggest depth and perspective, resembling three-dimensional objects like tunnels or tubes. The intersection of these forms creates an intricate network that evokes architectural drafts or futuristic pathways.

This painting shows a series of vertically oriented shapes and lines. The shapes at the top appear to blend and cascade downwards in colors including reds, oranges, purples, blues, pinks and greens. Below this cascade are dark, thin, spiky shapes stretching upward from the bottom of the painting. These shapes are all black, although some of the color from the higher shapes seem to drip down over them. Between the upper and lower shapes is an off-white middle section.

Morris Louis · 1959 · acrylic on canvas ·  Accession ID  1998.98.1

This painting shows vertical, elongated bands of color flowing upward. The soft, wide lines blend and overlap in shades of pink, orange, red, brown, and teal. The colors create a triangular shape, narrower at the bottom and wider at the top, although the bottom is flat and not pointed. On either side of them and at the very top of the painting, off-white paper is visible.”
