A Masterpiece of Rhythm and Color: Gene Davis’s Albatross (1973)
Experience the hypnotic precision of the Washington Color School with this museum-quality reproduction of Gene Davis's Albatross (1973). A pioneer of the Color Field movement, Davis utilized the stripe as a structural device to explore the complex relationship between color, rhythm, and optical perception. In Albatross, the vertical cadence of vibrant hues creates a sense of melodic movement, transforming a flat surface into a pulsating landscape of light and shadow.
At RedKalion, we honor Davis’s legacy by utilizing archival museum-quality paper. This 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white, matte-finished paper ensures that each stripe retains its intended chromatic depth without the interference of glare. The result is a fine art print that mirrors the intensity and texture of the 1973 original, curated for the most discerning collectors.
Premium Craftsmanship and Sustainable Elegance
Every Albatross fine art print is encased in a sophisticated, responsibly sourced black wooden frame. Crafted from premium oak or ash, the frame measures 20mm (0.79") in width and thickness—a sturdier, more presence-heavy profile than standard commercial frames. To ensure the longevity of your investment, we utilize shatterproof plexiglass, providing crystal-clear protection against UV rays and physical wear.

What is the significance of the 'Albatross' in Gene Davis's work?
In 1973, Davis used titles like 'Albatross' to ground his abstract stripe paintings. It represents his mastery of Color Field painting, where the rhythm of vertical lines dictates the viewer's emotional response.
Why did Gene Davis choose stripes as his primary subject?
Davis viewed stripes as a 'canvas' for color intervals. By repeating vertical lines, he created 'optical music,' forcing the eye to move across the composition to experience color as a temporal event.
