Morris Louis Bernstein ( 1912 - 1962 ) The American Abstract Expressionist Modernist painter of Russian Jewish descent became one of the earliest exponents and leading figures in the 1950's of " Color Field " paintings, along with his contemporaries Kenneth Noland and Helen Frankenthaler. He was one of the founding members of The Washington D.C. area painters known today as " The Washington Color School ".

In his short yet prolific career, Louis continually experimented with method and medium, manipulating large canvases in creative ways to control the flow and stain of his paints. His mature style, characterized by layered veils and rivulets of poured paint in untreated canvases, make his paintings some of the most iconic works of Mid Century Modern Color Field Painting. Artworks by Louis are included in the collections of many of the world's most prestigious museums.
