Oil on canvas board - Signed and dated to verso ‘Larry Zox February 20- March 11, 1965’ Yellow Abstract by Larry Zox is an oil on canvas board characterized by crisp geometry and high-key color. Broad fields of saturated yellow dominate the composition, intersected by angled white lines and narrow bands of cool green that cut across the surface. The shapes appear to tilt and overlap, creating a sense of spatial tension and movement within a shallow pictorial plane. Painted in 1965, the work reflects Zox’s engagement with Color Field and Post-Painterly Abstraction, where hard edges and luminous color replace expressive brushwork. The modest scale intensifies the precision of the composition, inviting close viewing of the relationships between color, line, and balance. Signed and dated on the reverse, the painting exemplifies Zox’s disciplined yet dynamic approach to abstraction during this period.

What is Colour Field Painting?
Colour Field Painting is an abstract style characterized by large areas of a single color or simple, solid colors. The term was first used in the 1950s to describe the work of three American Abstract Expressionist painters—Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. Their work emphasized the emotional power of color and the creation of vast, meditative spaces through expansive color fields.
