A Masterpiece of the Washington Color School: Butterfly (1972)
Experience the rhythmic precision of Gene Davis with our museum-quality reproduction of Butterfly (1972). As a preeminent figure of the Washington Color School, Davis explored the optical effects of vertical stripes, creating a visual language that transcends simple geometry. This piece, originally composed during the height of the Color Field movement, utilizes a sophisticated palette to guide the viewer’s eye across the surface, evoking a sense of melodic progression and spatial depth.
At RedKalion, we elevate this iconic 1972 composition by presenting it on Brushed Silver Aluminum DIBOND®. This choice of medium is particularly suited for Davis’s work; the horizontal grain of the 3mm (0.12") rigid base interacts dynamically with the verticality of the design, creating a contemporary aesthetic that bridges 20th-century minimalism with 21st-century industrial elegance.
Exquisite Material Specifications:
- Dynamic Metallic Finish: The brushed aluminum surface provides a striking metallic silver effect in unprinted areas, adding a unique shimmer to Davis’s color intervals.
- Archival Durability: Printed on a 3mm thick AluDibond composite, ensuring a warp-resistant, long-lasting fine art print.
- Glare-Free Viewing: The matte finish eliminates reflections, allowing the vibrant hues and precise lines of the Butterfly composition to remain clear under any lighting.
- Ready to Exhibit: Each 70x100 cm print arrives with a professional hanging kit tailored to your location, ensuring a seamless installation.

Are the white areas of the 'Butterfly' composition actually printed?
In this specific aluminum edition, white areas are left unprinted to showcase the raw, brushed silver metallic effect of the DIBOND® surface, providing a sophisticated industrial contrast to Davis’s colored stripes.
Who was Gene Davis and what is his historical significance?
Gene Davis was a leader of the Washington Color School. He is world-renowned for his 'stripe paintings,' which utilize color repetition and scale to explore visual rhythm and the emotional impact of pure color field theory.
How does the 'Butterfly' composition reflect the Washington Color School movement?
Created in 1972, Butterfly exemplifies the movement’s focus on non-gestural, flat applications of color. The vertical stripes emphasize the canvas as a field of optical energy rather than a window into a representational scene.
