1. Slab Assembly
Slab Assembly
Description
This piece consists of several trapezoidal shapes and two triangles arranged together. The left most trapezoid is a darker gray than the rest of the composition, except for the red triangle at the the top. The other triangle near the bottom right contains a red number 23., Otto's special concept of slab assembly, a term coined by the painter to paraphrase his technique, utilizes the assemblage of many different paintings, each unique in itself, together to create a total image impression. Often the painter uses an occasional landscape or figurative painting as an instrument to contrast and enhance the vast repertory of geometrical shapes and to further expand the compositional impact of his work. Expressive strokes and striking colors juxtaposed throughout each assemblage also lend energy and stregth to the unusual perspective illusions and design patterns realized by the painter.

By 1945 he had reconnected with the Museum Art School accepting a teaching fellowship in lithography. He joined the regular faculty in 1947. McLarty and his wife, Barbara, opened the Image Gallery in 1961. (online biography obtained from Preservation of Oregon's Artistic Heritage–A Production of the Salem Art Association.)
