Ellsworth Kelly
American · b. 1923
Kelly similarly employed large geometric color fields with bold contrasting shapes such as triangles and rectangles, exploring the tension between warm and cool tones on flat surfaces with minimal compositional elements.
Robert Mangold
American · b. 1937
Mangold's work shares Lodato's combination of dominant color fields with spare geometric forms, using oil and acrylic on flat surfaces to create contemplative minimalist compositions where a single shape activates an expansive ground.
John McLaughlin
American · b. 1898
McLaughlin created spare geometric abstractions featuring isolated rectangular and angular forms against dominant color fields, sharing Lodato's interest in architectural minimalism and the meditative interplay of bold color relationships on a flat ground.
