LARRY POONS (b. 1937) is an abstract painter whose early ambitionafter high school in 1955 was to study music. While attending musicschool, he began to take his painting more seriously. In 1959, he enrolledat the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and also studied atthe Art Students League of New York. He rose to prominence in the1960s with paintings of circles and ovals on solid, often brilliantly colored,backgrounds. These paintings conveyed a sense of movement, and werecategorized as Op Art. Although he exhibited with optical artists in 1965,by 1966 he had moved away from this style towards looser and morepainterly abstract canvases. Poons’ work is associated with Op Art, Hardedgepainting, Color Field painting, Lyrical Abstraction and AbstractExpressionism.
