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.
