Remarks:

Louis’s stretching marks on some of the Stripe paintings indicate that he intended to crop through the top and bottom of the painted area, as in this canvas. A photograph taken of the painting prior to its being stretched makes evident its stylistic relationship to the group of 1961 Stripe paintings.
