Gene Davis was one of Washington, DC”s most influential and successful artists, best known for his paintings of vertical stripes. In 2007, The Kreeger Museum presented a timely and extensive exhibition focusing on the artist”s use of interval in his stripe paintings, micro-paintings and works on paper. The exhibition was co-curated by Jean Lawlor Cohen and Andrea Pollan and included a co-authored four-color catalogue. Davis worked during the heyday of the 1960s Color Field, Washington Color School and Minimalist movements, yet his work provides a different kind of visual experience. Davis uses stripes as events. The intervals between the variously colored stripes incorporate both space and time. Color plays a key role as it adds a sometimes jazzy or syncopated rhythm in some works and a more restrained and diffused tempo in others. Cohen and Pollan examinee the inherent and varied musicality in the works through a focused presentation of works from 1960 to 1985.
