About the Item

Stunning Pair of Early Paintings on Paper by Eugene Healy framed in white. "I am an abstract painter. However, I don’t stray far from objective reality when I try to evoke a sense of place in my work. My paintings are often subjective interpretations of different areas along the New England shoreline." Eugene Healy Among his early primary influences were Matisse, Vermeer, Diebenkorn, Rauschenberg, Hoffman, and the Fauve painters. He pursued his painting at New York Institute of Technology, earning his B.F.A. in 1972. Starting in 1967, he began a long exhibition record with galleries and art museums throughout the country. He has also served as a curator, beginning in the late 1970’s, when he conceived and organized the popular traveling exhibition, American Vision, which was launched at New York University. Later, he served as Director of the National Artists’ Alliance, and as Exhibition Designer for the Yale Center for British Art. Jack Welch, the legendary former CEO of General Electric, is among the most enthusiastic collectors of Healy’s paintings. Many of Healy’s paintings are abstractions of shore scenes, being places that have evoked particular moods and feelings in the artist. And it is those feelings that he so effectively materializes by mixing mediums ranging from oil, watercolor, encaustic, oil crayon, lacquers, and colored pencil applied to fragments of canvas, boards, and paper. Often, one delights in the subtle addition of beach sand, fragments of printed fabrics, and even pieces of window screens. These are musical arrangements. Yet what is generally not known about the artist is that in the process of capturing those feelings just right he returns to each work, over and over, almost obsessively making changes until he is certain his expressions sing. These soothing colors of these vintage works would showcase well in both traditional and modern homes. The art varies in size but the frames are both the same size. Note reflections of camera on the art work and on the mattes. Colors of the art may vary due to room lighting. Paintings may appear slightly lighting in room setting.
