Catalogue Note

In the catalogue for the landmark 1981 Jock Macdonald retrospective, curator Joyce Zemans wrote of his works from this period: "Macdonald moved beyond the all-over composition to concentrate on a powerful central image. It is an image that comes alive primarily through colour and through the tension established between the fluid elemental shapes."
