John McLaughlin Hardedge Mid Century Modern Geometric Abstract Oil Painting 36x48in Landau Gallery Los Angeles 1957
Est: $80,000 - $160,000
Described By: Michelle CNX VX 0254 0606 Title: John McLaughlin Hardedge Mid Century Modern Geometric Abstract Oil Painting 36x48in Landau Gallery Los Angeles 1957 Description: John McLaughlin (1898–1976) Untitled Oil on canvas. This striking large-format painting by renowned West Coast minimalist John McLaughlin features bold, geometric abstractions in a dynamic interplay of blue, yellow, black, and white. Characteristic of McLaughlin's work, the composition explores spatial relationships and formal tension, creating a sense of meditative visual balance through asymmetry and color.The painting is consigned by the daughter of Willard Woodrow (né Cohn), an acclaimed mid-century architect, developer, and Hollywood set designer. A Northwestern University graduate at just 16, Cohn made a name for himself in Los Angeles designing film sets and befriending numerous Hollywood elites, including members of the Rat Pack. Known for his deep appreciation of modern design and geometry, Cohn was an early advocate of the mid-century modern movement and a passionate collector of abstract art with “odd angles” and bold color. According to his daughter, Cohn spent the 1970s frequenting Los Angeles galleries in search of works with strong geometric compositions—this McLaughlin piece being among his favorites. A true Renaissance man, Cohn also made significant contributions to the cultural landscape of Southern California. In 1957, he donated the building that would become the Downey Museum of Art (DMOA) at Furman Park, reinforcing his lifelong role as a patron of the arts and a committed philanthropist. This work stands out not only for its impressive scale but also for its impeccable provenance, directly linking it to one of California’s most dynamic creative figures of the 20th century. Provenance: The painting is consigned by the daughter of Willard Woodrow (nè Cohn), an acclaimed mid-century architect, developer, and Hollywood set designer.
