Gene Davis - Smithsonian Resident Associates Program 1980 15th Anniversary Poster

Celebrate the legacy of American Color Field painting with this museum-quality fine art print of Gene Davis's iconic 1980 poster, created for the Smithsonian Resident Associates Program's 15th anniversary. Measuring 75x100 cm (30x40 inches), this archival reproduction captures the vibrant energy and precise chromatic harmony that defined Davis's groundbreaking work.

Gene Davis (1920–1985) was a central figure in the Washington Color School, renowned for his signature "stripe" paintings that explored the psychological and optical effects of color. This 1980 poster exemplifies his mature style, where rhythmic vertical bands of saturated hues create a dynamic visual experience that engages the viewer's perception. The composition reflects Davis's fascination with jazz music—its syncopated rhythms and improvisational spirit—translated into a bold, graphic language that remains strikingly contemporary.
