| biography:
| Painter, born in Asheville, North Carolina, USA. He studied at Black Mountain College (1946–8). Influenced initially by Klee and Matisse and by the New York Action Painters, he developed his own kind of hard-edge minimalist abstract painting in the late 1950s. He restricts his shapes to circles, ovals, chevrons, and (after c.1966) horizontal stripes. His ‘plaid’ paintings date from c.1971. |
