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 Hard Edge Art?
Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
