Linocut lithograph - Suite: Niagara - Hand Signed by Zox

Untitled from Niagara Series by Larry Zox, created in 1980, is part of a limited edition linocut and lithograph print series. This abstract composition features bold, block-like shapes layered against each other. The primary colors in this piece include muted gray and vibrant orange, with accents of gold and a deep red, creating a sense of contrast and movement within the work. Zox’s approach is marked by his control over shapes and color, producing a minimalist yet dynamic visual experience. The simplicity of the forms, combined with the textured layering typical of printmaking techniques, lends a sense of depth and energy. This work exemplifies Zox’s engagement with abstraction and color theory, a hallmark of his oeuvre. Hand-signed by the artist, it is part of the Niagara suite, further showcasing his mastery in balancing intensity with compositional restraint.

Larry Zox (United States, 1937–2006) was an American painter and printmaker associated with Abstract Expressionism, Color Field painting, and Lyrical Abstraction. Renowned for his vibrant geometric compositions, Zox's work often featured dynamic color juxtapositions and hard-edge techniques. His notable series include the 'Rotation' and 'Scissors Jack' paintings, which challenged traditional notions of symmetry and form.

Linocut

LinocutLinocut is a printmaking technique similar to woodcut, where a sheet of linoleum is used as the relief surface. The design is carved into the linoleum using a V-shaped gouge or chisel, creating raised areas that form a mirror image of the final print. Ink is applied to the raised areas with a roller, and the linoleum sheet is then pressed onto fabric or paper. The printing can be done by hand or with a press.

What is late modernism?

Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
