Centered around a single hue—gray—Howell’s paintings are meditations on the relationship between color and light
American painter James Howell (1935–2014) found the focus of his art in the color gray. This elegant catalog shows Howell’s work in all its conceptual depth, moving beyond the apparent monothematic form to create a paradoxical emphasis of expression.
