He decided that the "most neutral" place to start from was its center, and proceeded to pour, stain and swab paint in concentric circles outward. Noland played with half a dozen colors in such target paintings, devising hundreds of dashing combinations. He moved on to chevrons, then to diamond-shaped canvases. Since 1967, he has been painting...
