About the Item

A Vibrant, Expressionist 1950s Mid-Century Modern Still Life Painting by Notable Chicago Artist, Harold Haydon (Am. 1909-1994). Depicting a bright and vivid studio still life scene with a tall glass pitcher, lemons and an arrangement of the artist's colorful Mexican pottery, the painting is oil on Masonite and dates from September of 1951. Executed in Haydon's unique, abstracted "Binocular Vision" painting style for which his post-war work became best recognized. A painting full of energetic color, charm and wonderful character! Artwork size: 16 x 20 inches, oil on Masonite, (framed size: 20 3/4 x 24 3/4 inches). Signed and dated "Harold Haydon 9-IX-51", upper right. Estate stamped on reverse. Provenance: Estate of the artist. Harold Emerson Haydon was born in 1909 in Fort William, Ontario, Canada. He moved to America in 1917, settling with his family in Chicago, Illinois and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1941. Haydon attended the University of Chicago Lab School and the University of Chicago, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree in Philosophy. He also studied at the Art Institute of Chicago in the early 1930s. Haydon became a Professor of Art at the University of Chicago from 1944-1975 and later taught as an instructor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1975-1981. From 1975-1982, Haydon also taught as an Adjunct Professor of Fine Arts at Indiana University. He is recognized for his vibrant, painterly landscapes of New England, Vermont and Canada, as well as his dynamic urban views of the city of Chicago and its picturesque lakefront. Harold Haydon served as the longtime, respected art critic of the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper from 1963-1985. He died in Chicago in 1994.
