Noland’s paintings are characterized by saturated expanses of colour divided by precise lines. He was also interested in how the shape and size of the canvas would interact with the forms in the painting. This led him to experiment with diamonds, narrow rectangles, and other polygons. In the early 1970s, Noland began to paint “vertical plaid pictures” (Corcoran Gallery of Art, Kenneth Noland: A Retrospective, 1977, p. 43), which he first exhibited at Andre Emmerich Gallery in 1971. Manx (1972) belongs to this “plaid” period in Noland’s career.
