About the Item
Abstract painter Paul Heald was born in Michigan in 1936. He moved to the West Coast and died in Washington in 2014. His body of work focuses on line and form abstract painting, usually in subtle colors as opposed to bold colors preferred by others of his period.
This work is a fine example of Heald’s pattern painting style. Using subtle colors - pink, blue and taupe against the white primed canvas background, Heald uses repeat patterns that merge perspectively next to one another within the field. There is an ethereal aspect to this work that makes it fairly unique. It’s as if Jackson Pollack had a soft day and focused on geometric patterning rather than full on abstract expressionism. Heald does enhance his work with an overall drip pattern that is even more subtle than the underlaying patterns themselves. All is to great effect in creating a Post Modern work that bows to Abstract Expressionism.
The work is likely acrylic on canvas, rather than oil. It measures 18” x 24” and is softly signed lower right and dated 1983. It is housed in a well made brushed-chrome shadow box frame that successfully floats the canvas. Overall framed dimensions are around 19” x 25”. Both the work and frame are in very good condition with no condition issues to report. It could be hung either horizontally or vertically, in my opinion, although I believe Heald meant it as a horizontal, given the location of the signature.

- Springtime ResurrectionBy Ronnie LandfieldLocated in Austin, TXAcrylic on canvas. Signed, titled, and dated on verso. 86 x 74 in. 87.25 x 75.25 in. (framed) Please note: Our framing studio could not accommodate the scale of this work, so it is being sold as-acquired. The canvas is housed in an original “studio strip” frame installed by the artist. Please see condition notes below for additional details and an assessment of condition. Provenance Steve Chase Design, Palm Springs, CA Ronnie Landfield was born in the Bronx, NY on January 9, 1947 - the same day as his older brother. As a teenager, he was encouraged to pursue a career as an artist, subsequently creating his first real paintings around the age of 14. He was particularly influenced by a Life magazine article from 1961 on the Abstract Expressionists, most notably: Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Adolph Gottlieb, Hans Hofmann, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Robert Motherwell and Franz Kline. After stints at the Art Students League, the Kansas City Art Institute, the San Francisco Art Institute, and the University of California at Berkeley, Landfield’s professional career as a painter began in New York in 1965. The following year, after completing a major series of hard-edge border paintings, success as a painter began to materialize. The famous architect and collector Philip Johnson and the collector Robert Scull each acquired large paintings works, as did the Sheldon Memorial Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. In 1967, Landfield was invited to participate in the Whitney Annual at the end of the year. His work attracted considerable attention, and he was invited to participate in important group exhibitions at the Bykert, Bianchini, and Park Place Galleries in New York. Landfield joined the David Whitney...Category
