Literature:

Greg Bellerby, John MacGregor: A Survey (catalogue), Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Victoria, 1983, page 4. 

Note:

While MacGregor's work had used representational images, such as doors and chairs in his production prior to the mid-1970's, he embarked on a different path around 1975. 

Bellerby writes: "...(MacGregor) began to cast off the use of representational and to move toward non-representational painting." Additionally, the pastel colors he had favored gave way to primary colors with black used not simply as line but in an increasingly significant capacity.
