"From the late 1960s the mid-1980s, the American abstract artist Vivian Springford (1913-2003) created an extraordinary series of stained paintings composed of brilliantly hued, circular bursts of color on square-shaped canvases...While differing dramatically in tone, Springford's stain paintings represent an ambitious exercise in using a strictly controlled set of variables - consistent forms, materials, and techniques - to create disparate aesthetic and emotional effects."
