Catalogue Note
“The Mysteries mark a return to a centered image of nested circles. Like the original Circles of the late 50s and early 60s, they’re thinly painted, but the paint application and consequent color feeling are substantially different. They’re blatantly evocative. Crisp edged circles amidst misty, amorphous penumbras recall eclipses, full moons, hazy suns. The interactive rippling rhythms of the early Circles have given way to radiance, effulgence, expansion.”
(Terry Fenton, Appreciating Noland: Mysteries, 2001)
