About the Item
Kenneth Noland’s Gray Reflection (1978) comes from the late 1970s, when the artist was deeply engaged with shaped canvases and the refinement of surface and form. The cool slate ground is animated by faint tonal shifts and angled color bands that cut across the polygonal field, creating both balance and quiet momentum.
This period was far less prolific than his celebrated 1960s circle paintings, making works such as Gray Reflection comparatively rare. While not part of a named series, it resonates with other late-1970s explorations like Burnt Beige at the Cranbrook Art Museum.
Noland, a central figure of post-painterly abstraction alongside Morris Louis and Helen Frankenthaler, is represented in major museum collections including MoMA, Tate, and the National Gallery of Art.

Kenneth Noland
Kenneth Noland was an American painter. He was known as one of the best American color field painters, although in the 1950's he was thought of as an abstract expressionist and in the 1960's as a minimalist painter. He is most famously known for his target paintings. Noland also helped establish the Washington Color School movement.
