Red: A Taste of the Remixed Collection Galleries

NMWA’s new collection installation features thematic galleries such as “Seeing Red,” which explores artists’ rosy, bold, and fiery uses of the color red.

Painting features vertical tile-shaped brushstrokes in various shades of red separated by horizontal white lines. Creating a rhythmic and mosaic-like pattern that resembles stitching, the white lines create stair steps in the lower right corner, separating as they move towards the center. — Alma Woodsey Thomas, *Orion*, 1973; Acrylic on canvas, 59 3/4 x 54 in.; National Museum of Women in the Arts, Gift of Wallace and Wilhelmina Holladay; © Estate of Alma Thomas (Courtesy of the Hart Family)/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York; Photo by Lee Stalsworth
