'Southwest Spirit' by Stephen Mueller is a perfect example of his early works focusing on Gestural Abstraction while primarily utilizing earth tones. After 1980, his canvases exploded with bright hues as he leaned towards Color Field and Lyrical Abstraction, with inspiration derived from Eastern philosophies and transcendental imagery.
