But an important development in the history of the visual arts had its origins here as well. It is called the "Color Field" movement, and it is the subject of a major new exhibition now underway in the nation's capital.  As VOA's George Dwyer reports, the passing of years appears to have cast this colorful school of painting in a whole new light.
