William Taggart  

  
Taggart developed his bold use of color while
studying at the University of New Mexico and in-
directly from the work of Joseph Albers'. Color is
the chief medium of Taggart's pictorial language.
His use of color has a physic effect emphasized
by the abstract spatial quality of his canvas.

The center of his work is a painterly command of
color: hues controlled by brilliant colors that act
as abstract symbols and incorporate in the
overall picture plane.

Taggart's paintings have a humorous nature
which is transposed into a concentrated abstract
story telling imagery.
