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.

PATRICK HERON (British, 1920-1999) January 1973 : 1 screenprint, ed. 57/72 signed and dated lower right: Patrick Heron 73 editioned lower left 58.5 x 81cm PROVENANCE: Private collection, Melbourne OTHER NOTES: Other examples of this print are held in the collections of the Tate, London; and Buffalo AKG Art Museum, New York. 'January 1973: 1' forms an important part of Patrick Heron's January 1973 series of nineteen prints. This series is made up of different drawn abstract compositions that have been subjected to diverse colour variations. Heron heroed this process of printmaking throughout the 1970s, commencing with his first prints made under the direction of master print technician Chris Prater at Kelpra Press, London in 1967. As seen in Heron's paintings, his screenprints feature his signature use of colour, with overlapping shapes and forms creating intricate compositions. He utilised this medium to explore various themes and motifs present in his paintings, translating his distinctive aesthetic into a different format.

Patrick Heron (British, 1920-1999) Small Yellow, 1973 screenprint signed, titled, dated, and numbered 61/72 in pencil 16 5/8 x 20 1/2 inches. Sold to Benefit the Acquisition Fund of the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields Lot Note: British artist Patrick Heron (1920-1999) is well known for his significant contributions to abstract art and his experimentation with color. Born in Leeds to an artistic family who nurtured his ambitions, he studied at the Slade School of Art in London from 1937 to 1939 before serving in WWII. His experiences in the war influenced his views on the importance of the relationship between painting and the physical environment. This role of the environment would continue to influence his work even when his work shifted to abstraction in 1956, as precipitated by a move to Cornwall. Heron would remain in Cornwall for the rest of this life, working with the St. Ives School, whose members likewise emphasized abstraction. Along with the relationship to the environment, experimentation with color was the primary driving force of Heron's work. He was particularly interested in the ways color could elicit an emotional response, how the juxtaposition of colors affected the colors' optical impact, and how these colors could likewise suggest both spatial relationships and form. Artists continue to be impacted by Heron's innovations with color and his works are highly sought after in private collections. His artworks are held in public institutions such as the Tate Collections in London and St. Ives, Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and National Galleries, Scotland. He has had a solo show at The National Portrait Gallery - London and has shown at Serpentine Galleries, Dallas Museum of Art, and Whitechapel Gallery.

Patrick Heron (British, 1920-1999) Small Red 2, 1973
Est: $1,500 - $2,500
Patrick Heron (British, 1920-1999) Small Red 2, 1973 screenprint signed, titled, dated, and numbered 55/72 in pencil 16 3/4 x 20 1/2 inches. Sold to Benefit the Acquisition Fund of the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields Lot Note: British artist Patrick Heron (1920-1999) is well known for his significant contributions to abstract art and his experimentation with color. Born in Leeds to an artistic family who nurtured his ambitions, he studied at the Slade School of Art in London from 1937 to 1939 before serving in WWII. His experiences in the war influenced his views on the importance of the relationship between painting and the physical environment. This role of the environment would continue to influence his work even when his work shifted to abstraction in 1956, as precipitated by a move to Cornwall. Heron would remain in Cornwall for the rest of this life, working with the St. Ives School, whose members likewise emphasized abstraction. Along with the relationship to the environment, experimentation with color was the primary driving force of Heron's work. He was particularly interested in the ways color could elicit an emotional response, how the juxtaposition of colors affected the colors' optical impact, and how these colors could likewise suggest both spatial relationships and form. Artists continue to be impacted by Heron's innovations with color and his works are highly sought after in private collections. His artworks are held in public institutions such as the Tate Collections in London and St. Ives, Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and National Galleries, Scotland.
