  John
McLaughlin
As Susan C. Larsen wrote in her essay for the retrospective, "John McLaughlin's work has inspired two generations of artists, critics and curators to probe the silent, obdurate depths of a body of work created to beguile and challenge the viewer." Seminal to the development of painting on the West Coast, McLaughlin was included in "Four Abstract Classicists," an exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1959, conceived by Peter Selz and assembled by Jules Langsner. This highly influential show marks a turning point in identifying a movement that is also referred to as hard edge painting.
