Our 1965 painting is a classic colour-field composition by one of Britain’s most highly regarded abstract artists. Hoyland’s work in 1960s owed much more to American artists such as Rothko and Newman rather than the artists of St Ives with their connection to landscape painting and the work of de Staël and the European Modernists. Hoyland created pure abstracts, not abstractions from nature, and his use of colour and form was a deliberate move away from anything that could be viewed as representational.
