Woodcut in colors, on Okawara. Signed, titled and dated in pencil. Published by D. Villani, New York. Image: 30 x 45 in. (76.2 x 114.3 cm.); Sheet: 36.75 x 51.9 in. (93 x 132.2 cm.). Conversation by Sean Scully is a 1986 color woodcut on Okawara paper, exemplifying the artist’s exploration of structure, rhythm, and subtle emotion through abstraction. Composed of vertically aligned rectangular panels in earthy tones—green-grays, rust, ochre, and deep black—the piece evokes a sense of architectural solidity and meditative balance. The textured surfaces and divisions suggest layered communication or interaction, fitting the work’s title. Published in an edition of 40 by D. Villani, New York, this print echoes Scully’s painterly approach to printmaking, merging the tactile grain of woodcut with his signature grid-based language.

What is Colour Field Painting?
Colour Field Painting is an abstract style characterized by large areas of a single color or simple, solid colors. The term was first used in the 1950s to describe the work of three American Abstract Expressionist painters—Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. Their work emphasized the emotional power of color and the creation of vast, meditative spaces through expansive color fields.
