This artist was inspired by the Oresteia to depict the title girl's orange legs protruding from under a black cone in his painting of The Sacrifice of Iphigenia. During this artist's Surrealist phase in the 1940's, he painted two hourglass shaped humanoid figures on a beach in Slow Swirl at the Edge of the Sea, which may represent his courtship of Mell Beistle. Barnett Newman's sculpture Broken Obelisk sits in a reflecting pool in front of a building named for this artist. That building is located next to the Cy Twombly Pavilion, and is a chapel on the campus of the Menil Collection. This artist broke his contract with The Four Seasons restaurant, leaving behind the incomplete Seagram Murals. For 10 points, name this Latvian-born abstract painter who pioneered color-field painting.
