      Est: $5,000 - $7,000

      ROBERT HEDRICK UNTITLED ABSTRACT, 1961 oil on canvassigned and dated '61; also signed and dated on the reverse 50 ins x 36 ins; 127 cms x 91.4 cms Provenance:Canadian Fine Art Gallery, TorontoNote:Robert Hedrick belonged to the second generation of Toronto abstract artists who showed at the Isaacs Gallery in the 1960s. In a 1961 article on Hedrick for Canadian Art magazine, critic Robert Fulford described the artist's practice as "discipline in action" because he typically tackled one artistic problem at a time through a number of works until he had solved it. Untitled Abstract is one of several canvases from this period in which the artist was concerned with making forms move in space. Masses of earthy colours and black float across the surface forming patterns suggested by a primary wash, creating an overall effect characteristic of Abstract Expressionism. The painting process is visible in that the thinned-down paint has been allowed to drip into adjacent areas, (note the orange mass in the upper right corner) which gives the work a look of spontaneity and "chance." Hedrick has nonetheless given careful consideration to the interplay of space, colour and rhythm so that the element of chance has been held in check by his adherence to a set of formal standards, as Fulford observed. Hedrick believed that his sculpture, first exhibited in 1961, shared an underlying naturalism with his painting of the period.

      Robert Burns Hedrick 1930 - Canadian oil on canvas

      Est: $12,000 - $15,000

      Robert Burns Hedrick 1930 - Canadian oil on canvas Altitude 84 x 48 inches 213.3 x 121.9 centimeters on verso signed, titled and dated 1961 Literature:Robert Fulford, Toronto Daily Star, April 16, 1960 Provenance:Gallery Moos Ltd., Toronto Private Collection, Toronto Although he had previously shown his work to favourable reviews in other venues, Robert Hedrick's first notable solo exhibition took place in 1960 at The Isaacs Gallery in Toronto. Robert Fulford wrote glowingly of those paintings: "They never betray the loose, romantic, slapdash approach which paralyzes so much art of this kind.....they are carried off with consistency and discipline, the painter carrying the same thrusting stroke and the same colours insistently across the canvas, in time with confident inner rhythm." Hedrick became an active member of The Isaacs Gallery's stable of artists which included, among others, Michael Snow, Gordon Rayner, Harold Town, Graham Coughtry, John Meredith and Joyce Wieland, all of whose works were shown alongside those by members of Painters Eleven in Toronto Painting: 1953 - 1965, the landmark 1972 exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada organized by a young curator named Dennis Reid. Altitude, like the four large canvases included in that exhibition, is a beautiful and engaging example of Hedrick's signature approach to abstract painting. Please note: this work is unframed.
