I hope that was clear in the post. He intends to create meaning with his abstract imagery which is in opposition to most of his POMO colleagues. His color, however, is still rooted in the same kind of Pop applications we see in most High Postmodernist work and that is one of the reasons I consider him a Postmodernist. His work's color doesn't differ that much from Warhol's color, though Halley's work is less "tasteful." In fact he has claimed that he does not chose the color to create a theme or design. He hopes to use color as an indiscriminate found object - at least, that's the sense of it that I got from an article I read a while ago. Halley is a very strong abstractionist and I chose this painting because it is an especially good example of his later works. Another amazing aspect about Halley's work is that they reproduce so well - they look great in jpeg format. A lot of that has to do with his choices of color and textures - they are straight out of the can!
