When starting his transition towards abstract painting, Fuller Potter combined his graphic skills with his mastery of color. Fuller Potter's work evolved towards a mature and personal form of abstraction.

 

Potter never pursued the drip/throw action mode of abstract expressionism to any notable degree. His paint is delivered with loaded brush in hand, opulently, generously and aggressively - keeping with the style of Ad Reinhardt's early works and with Jackson Pollock's 1940s pre-drip works.

 

He followed a path that would lead to his artistic peak, during his full abstract expressionist period.
