In a 1961 article on Coughtry published in Canadian Art, critic Robert Fulford wrote that "in a 1959 one-man show [Coughtry] exhibited a series of what he called 'portraits.' These were not portraits in any usual sense - that is, they did not describe individual faces - but rather the impressions of the idea of the portrait: the idea of confrontation between painter and subject. [T]he surfaces were lush, varied and altogether admirable" (Robert Fulford, "A Survey of the Work of 24 Young Canadian Artists," Canadian Art no. 71 (Jan/Feb 1961), p. 20)
