"In the sixties, Zox achieved a brilliant synthesis of form, line and color that transcended the softness of Greenbergian Post-Painterly Abstraction. In effect, Zox reached back to the rhythmic geometrics of Mondrian's "Broadway Boogie Woogie", adding to Mondrian a dazzling array of color pyrotechnics." - Reuben M. Baron, 2005
Larry Zox was a prominent figure in the Color Field movement of the 1960s and 1970s. His abstract works featured brilliantly colored geometric shapes, challenging the notion that hard-edge painting was cold and formalistic. He explored various techniques and emphasized the autonomy of color over structure in his later works. Zox gained recognition through significant exhibitions, and his art is now held in prestigious collections, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
