Vivian Springford, an abstract painter active in the New York art scene throughout the second half of the 20th century, has always defied easy categorization. Inspired by sources as varied as Taoist calligraphy and the rhythm and beauty of nature, she created highly sophisticated constructs of kaleidoscopic pools of color. She favored source material from her surroundings – either in the organic formations found in nature or in the patterns of the stars and sky. Her highly vibrant and impressive pools of saturated color offer up a unique and important contribution to the narrative of the post-war canon.

Although Vivian Springford’s work is often associated with the Color Field movement that dominated the second half of the 20th century, her broad expanses of saturated color are actually more tied to the corporeal and ethereal world. Her masterfully executed canvases replete with rich and lively layers of diluted pigment are expressions through color of phenomenal patterns found in nature. An avid traveler and voracious student of the world around her, Springford expressed an artistic ambition to “transcend her body, rather than to embrace the thrust of its movement” (H. W. Rockefeller, “When it is the cosmos you are dealing with, what is art history?”, Vivian Springford Archive). In a press release for her exhibition at the Nevelson Chapel at Saint Peter’s Church in 1979, she admits, “Painting is my attempt to identify with the universal whole. I want to find my own small plot or pattern of energy that will express the inner me in terms of rhythmic movement and color.”
