October 1965 • Monochromatic Shaped Series
Large Red, 1965, 120 x 120 x 4 inches (two shaped panels), Acrylic on Canvas
Large Red was included in my first one-man show at the Nicholas Wilder Gallery in Los Angeles. This show of shaped monochromatic paintings was a radical approach at the time, but differed from minimal art of the period in that the painting shapes were either isometric or one-point perspective illusions.
