Marcella and Joe Went Walking relates to another of Morris Louis's paintings called The Ladder. Both works include an abstracted Jacob's ladder painted with Miró-inspired lines over saturated color that anticipates his signature stain paintings. The names in the title refer to the artist's wife and his brother.
