As part of the Washington Color Painters group that exhibited together in 1965 at the Washington, D.C., Gallery of Modern Art, Thomas Downing is known for his manipulation of acrylic paint on unprimed canvases. His primary concern was color, arranging seemingly simple geometric shapes, in order to create intriguing optical color contrasts. Circles, according to Downing, were one of the most effective geometric shapes to hold color. The painting is from the estate of James Julius Killough III and was purchased from the artist by Killough in 1975, during the artist's tenure at the University of Houston.
