Kenneth Noland
Kenneth Noland was an American abstract painter. He was one of the bestknown American Color Field painters, although in the 1950s he was thought of as an abstract expressionist and in the early 1960s he was thought of as a minimalist painter. Noland helped establish the Washington Color School movement. In 1977, he was honored by a major retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York that then traveled to the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. and Ohios Toledo Museum of Art in 1978. In 2006, Nolands Stripe Paintings were exhibited at the Tate in London.
A son of Harry Caswell Noland , a pathologist, and his wife, Bessie , Kenneth Clifton Noland was born in Asheville, North Carolina. He had four siblings David, Bill, Neil and Harry Jr.
