Noland met Helen Frankenthaler and Clement Greenberg in 1953 which would have a profound effect on his art making. Using circles, chevrons, diamonds, shaped canvases throughout his career. The DoorsSea View is part of Nolands Doors series, a motif that incorporates aspects of the 1970s shaped canvases. These later works are known for their complex applications of clear, glass-like gels which were scraped and slid across a coloured underpainting. The plexiglass panels in the works act like drawing, defining the structure to the work as a whole.'
