John Plumb

Emerald
1965
Acrylic on board
48 x 48 ins (121.9 x 121.9 cms)

signed, dated and inscribed verso

Painted in the same year that Plumb held a solo exhibition at Ferens Art Gallery in Hull, Emerald is a fusion of his work from the previous two years and the colour field paintings that were to follow between 1965 and 1968. The circular forms, invaded by angular intrusions gave way to compositions based on the application of pure colour, for colour's sake, but without the geometric controls of his later work.

Exhibited:
