Irving Haynes, Abstract Acrylic on Paper Laid to Board (1982)

Description This is an abstract figural work on paper laid to board completed in 1982.  This painting's line and shape is clearly a nod to his training as an architect, but we can also see here his exceptional gift for color.  We love the subtle tones of this one.

Born in Maine in 1927, he graduated from RISD in 1951 with a degree in painting and established his own architectural firm in 1968. He then went on to have a distinguished career as a painter and architect for nearly half a century.  Paintin
