About the Item

This vibrant blue and green oil pastel drawing by Paul Reed takes an inverted approach to the artist's usual compositional style; the background is off-white and the anamorphic abstract figures are where the viewer finds color. The pinks, greens, blacks and blues all work together in blotches to create a stimulating arrangement. Paul Allen Reed (b. 1919, d. 2015) was an artist based in Washington D.C. who is remembered now as one of the original six members of the Washington Color School. After attending the Corcoran School of Art, he moved to New York City where he began working as a graphic designer. His work can be described as both geometric and balanced and his compositions are inherently based on his interpretation of color theory and relationship to form. His work has been shown in museums and galleries all over the nation, most predominantly in New York City, Washington D.C., and Chicago.
