WILLIAM PEREHUDOFF "REUNION" MONOTYPE, 1985
William Perehudoff (1918-2013) is one of the most cherished and collected Canadian abstract painters. His work exemplifies of how color field painting was expressed in Canada.
Like some of his contemporaries, he was encouraged and guided by legendary New York critic Clement Greenberg. Perehudoff 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 1960s.
Perehudoff is known for his simple and exuberant compositions that juxtapose and celebrate color.
This untitled monotype, nicknamed "Reunion" is classic Perehudoff. A textured cloud-grey parallelogram anchors the center of the composition, surrounded by swelling fields of color including emerald, periwinkle, spotty mauve, canary yellow, cinnabar, and fire engine red. The vibrant arrangement is further intensified by a muted steel blue background, offering a shadow-like quality that adds a compelling layer of depth and dimension.
This work is a testament to Perehudoff's expertise as a colorist and his ongoing commitment to and exploration of color-field painting.
During his lifetime, Perehudoff was recognized 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.
