Specialist note

Noland experimented with colors and textures, mixing paper pulp slurries with a variety of pigments and dyes. He often added bits of colored paper, wool, and silk thread to the pulp and placed bits of material on the couched and applied layers. This material was embedded in the pulp by direct application and pressing or by pressing and then couching layers of cotton gauze or colored pulp on top of it.'
