In the galleries: Transformations in 20th century abstraction

Pure color appears to pool, flow, pulse or simply mark the boundaries of a void in the latest retrospective of American abstraction at Pazo Fine Art’s Kensington location. “Living Colors” offers a single item by each of 10 artists, half of whom spent at least part of their careers in Washington. Seven of the pictures were made before 1976, but the selection ranges from a print of nested yellow squares by Josef Albers, patriarch of color-field art, to a brand-new minimalist canvas by Matthew Feyld.
