The Eclipse

Story

A dark circle sits at the center of the composition, surrounded by rings of small, tile-like daubs of color. The hues shift outward from fiery yellows and reds near the middle to cooler blues and purples toward the edges, giving the whole piece a sense of radiating movement. The Eclipse was created in 1970 and is held at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Alma Thomas (1891–1978) was an American artist associated with the Washington Color School. Looking closely, one notices how the individual tiles never quite align into perfect rows, so the circles seem to pulse and breathe rather than sit flat on the surface, as if the painted rings were caught mid-motion around their dark core.
