A striking example of Washington Color School aesthetics, this poster reproduces Davis’s early exploration of form and color—predating his iconic vertical stripe paintings. The composition centers on a bold, hand-rendered red rectangular frame set against a soft, atmospheric ground, with expressive drips cascading downward. The raw edges and visible brushwork emphasize process and gesture, bridging Abstract Expressionism and the emerging color field movement. Printed for the April 23–May 12, 1977 exhibition, this piece captures a pivotal moment of reassessment in Davis’s career, highlighting his formative works from the late 1950s. A visually arresting and historically significant poster, appealing to collectors of postwar American abstraction, minimalism, and gallery-issued ephemera.
