Description

A bright and refreshing palette, rendered in a pattern that suggests late summer light reflected in water, makes Paul Beattie’s simple composition “Blue Pattern” a sensory experience. By the 1970s, Beattie’s career had come full circle, from a painting student in the late 1940s in New York, to a multidisciplinary Beat artist in the 1950s, a filmmaker in the 1960s, to when he was settled in the Sonoma County countryside and revisited painting once more.

By the time Beattie painted this acrylic piece, much of his work was inspired by his outdoor surroundings and he often focused on light, landscapes, and astronomy, though always through the lens of abstraction. This acrylic on masonite is a window onto California’s singular light, at once bursting with bright energy and soothing in its softness.
