Diane Upright, Morris Louis: The Complete Paintings, Catalogue Raisonné, New York, 1985, cat. no. 146, p. 204, illustrated. 

"Color meant areas and zones, and interpretations of these, which could be achieved better by variations of hue than by variations of value. Recognitions like these liberated Louis' originality along with his hitherto dormant gift for color."

-- Clement Greenberg in "Louis and Noland," Art International, Zürich, May 25, 1960, p. 28
