A portrait of the artist Gene Davis, a “single idea” painter whose stripe paintings emphasize color and space. Davis began painting stripes in 1958 because “it seemed a very outrageous thing to do.” He continues because, in the intervening years, he has found different motives for his work that have enabled him to retain a changing perspective on stripes.
