Patrick Heron Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, Draft draughtsman, b. 1920 - d. 1999

Born in 1920, British artist Patrick Heron is known worldwide as an accomplished art critic and writer. Painter Patrick Heron designed his first silk screen in 1938, five years after he began his apprenticeship with Paul Cezanne. His first solo exhibition was at the Redfern Gallery, London, in 1947. His silkscreens are color-rich with sharp lines and edges, and show his skill with abstract interpretation. Subsequent influences by the American Abstract Expressionists emerge in his mid-1950s paintings Square Leaves and Winter Harbour.

While exhibiting at the John Moores Prize Exhibition in Liverpool in 1957, artist Patrick Heron won first prize. Landscape, seasonal, and still-life themed artwork is the primary focus of most Patrick Heron abstract paintings for sale. His piece Winter Harbour , among others, is still replicated in print. Challenge your perceptions of conventional artistic beauty by browsing through thought-provoking mid-century abstract paintings online.

Patrick Heron was one of Britain's most significant post-war artists, celebrated for his mastery of colour and form. While best known for his vibrant abstract paintings, his printmaking practice was equally important in his artistic evolution. Over the course of his career, Heron produced a remarkable body of prints that not only echoed the compositional and chromatic concerns of his paintings but also pushed the boundaries of screenprinting as a fine art medium. Heron engaged with printmaking intermittently throughout his career, which allowed him to explore the properties of colour in ways distinct from his paintings. The medium provided a controlled environment where he could layer colour with precision, experimenting with transparency, opacity, and the interaction of pigments. 'Shapes of Colour 1943-1978' 1978 represents a retrospective exploration of his evolving visual language over three decades. The interplay of sharp and soft edges, a defining characteristic of his paintings is also represented in his prints. Some areas of colour meet in crisp, well-defined boundaries, while others dissolve into one another, creating subtle transitions that enhance the sense of depth and movement.

Please write to the Patrick Heron Trust, c/o Cheffins, 1-2 Clifton Road, Cambridge CB1 7EA or email fine.art@cheffins.co.uk Patrick Heron was a pioneering British abstract painter of the second half of the 20th century, his aesthetic position was grounded firmly within European sensibilities through which he engaged with the achievements of French artists such as Henri Matisse, Georges Braque and Pierre Bonnard, yet also responded to the possibilities of new approaches to abstraction he recognised both in American abstract expressionism and in the work of British artists of his own generation. FIVE REDS, FOUR DISCS : MAY 1965 occupies a significant position in Heron’s oeuvre, and was included in his third solo exhibition in New York at the Bertha Schaefer Gallery. Each of his three exhibitions in New York – in 1960, 1962 and 1965 – offered both a response to the possibilities he at first recognised in new American abstract painting after 1956 and a challenge to what he saw increasingly as its shortcomings. The paintings that were included in his 1965 New York exhibition stand in high contrast to American ‘post-painterly’ abstract painting typified by the airbrushed open colour fields of Jules Olitski or the stained symmetrical compositions of Kenneth Noland, and reveal the degree to which Heron was expanding the possibilities of abstract painting. Limiting the composition of this painting to four disc shapes and the colour to five different reds underlines how Heron created compositional and spatial complexity out of comparatively simple means. These colours and shapes are arranged within planes parallel to the picture surface expressed through drawn lines that define the interacting colour areas. The ways in which these colour shapes interact is how an active pictorial illusion of space is created that contradicts the flatness of the canvas surface itself. Each colour shape for Heron is just that, interacting with each other shape as a fully realised compositional unity and not in the way the hierarchy of a traditional figure/ground relationship might work. The illusion of space is active because it changes along with the colour relationships, shifting and altering in character as the viewer’s eyes move over the canvas led by line, colour and shape. Brush marks offer visible traces of the act of painting rather than just mark down paint literally as colour – adding further spatial complication to the colour-relationships he has created. FIVE REDS, FOUR DISCS : MAY 1965 is a painting animated by the interaction of colour within a complex composition that creates space, playing equally on the eye and the emotions.
