Number 12 1970

"Number 12" (1970) is a minimalist painting by John McLaughlin, a significant figure in the movement. The stark contrast of black and white, with a prominent black band bisecting the canvas, exemplifies the artist's focus on pure form and color. McLaughlin's use of thin lines and flat planes creates a sense of order and balance, characteristic of minimalist art, challenging viewers to contemplate the interplay of space, form, and color.
