Irving Haynes, Untitled Abstract (1984)

Description This is an abstract work on paper laid to board completed in 1984.  Haynes' use of line and shape is clearly a nod to his training as an architect.  But his love of color -- and his admiration for Cezanne -- is also at work here.  This is bold and brilliant.   Details Irving B. Haynes (American, 1927-2005) Untitled  (1984)  Acrylic on paper laid to board Initialed and dated in lower right hand corner 31" x 23 1/2" (overall) in a new wood and gold leaf frame About the Artist Irving Haynes is one of our favorite under-recognized artists of the 20th century.  A former professor at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Haynes was a true renaissance man:  war veteran, architect, talented athlete, photographer and jazz pianist. 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.  Pa
