About the Item
William Perehudoff (1918-2013) is one of the most cherished and collected Canadian abstract painters. His work is a prime example of how color field painting was expressed in Canada. Like Jack Bush, and some of his American contemporaries, he was encouraged and guided by legendary New York critic Clement Greenberg.
Perehudoff is known for his simple and exuberant canvases that celebrate the interaction and power of color. He spent several summers at the University of Saskatchewan's legendary Emma Lake Artist's Workshop where he worked and studied with Jules Olitski and Kenneth Noland during the 1960's.
During his lifetime Perehudoff had recognition across Canada (and beyond). Today his works can be found in major public collections across the country. Even during his heyday, Perehudoff stayed in Saskatchewan preferring to paint at his family's farm.
This is a classic and easily recognizable example of Perehudoff's work from the early 1980's. The background is "stained" and appears that diluted acrylic has been absorbed into the canvas, rather than being applied by brush or another tool. In the center, Perehudoff has controlled and manipulated the absorption of color leaving a fuzzy starburst. This subtle but dynamic element is surrounded by thick glossy strokes of pure color. Overall this painting is notable for its more masculine colors.

Original Abstract Mixed Media Painting
By William Finlayson Jr.
Located in West Palm Beach, FL
Born in Tallahasee Fl, William started his artistic career as a color consultant for his family's Design and Painting company that took on constant projects of custom painted interiors and decorating. This work of 20 yrs lead him to his fascination with textiles and paint, along with custom furniture. After creating and selling dozens of unique pieces of furniture, here began his transition from wall, to wood on furniture, to canvas. Painting on canvas was the culmination of his creative outlet. William feels that his lack of formal training in Fine Art has afforded him a freedom to paint what he envisions and feels, rather than conform to specific style or genre that he feels is limiting Inspired by hard edge abstraction and color field art such as Kenneth Noland, Joseph Albers, Gene Davis, Frank Stella, Anne Truitt, Imi knobel...
