Untitled 1963

John McLaughlin's Untitled (1963) is a striking example of hard-edge painting, a style that emerged in the 1960s. The work is composed of three vertical bands of solid color: two yellow bands flanking a central white band. This stark geometric composition is characterized by its simplicity, clarity, and emphasis on the purity of color. The artist's masterful handling of color and form creates a sense of balance and visual harmony, while the absence of representational elements invites contemplation and introspection.
