WILLIAM PEREHUDOFF "AUTUMN" ACRYLIC ON PAPER, 1979
William Perehudoff (1918-2013) is one of the most cherished and collected Canadian abstract painters. His work demonstrates 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 compositions that celebrate the power and interactions 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.
This painting on paper is a testament to the artist's reputation as a master colorist. Using high-shine pigment, Perehudoff applies vertical shapes in autumnal hues. The cherry, orange, and tangerine brushstrokes reflect light, while their warm grey neighbors absorb it in their matte sections. The collection is punctuated by two short purple shapes. Anchoring the composition is a semi-translucent matte field of orangey-umber, applied in layered, vertical bands.
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.
