Jasmine Sidewinder Stole
Jasmine Sidewinder #91 (1969) is a unique minimalist painting by Gene Davis in the collection of the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Its long, 10-foot stripes have an ordered monotony as they march along; that is until the cacophony of color along the side breaks up the rhythm and adds a syncopation that is irresistible.It makes one want to wrap the painting around her and live in the stripes.
