Paul Reed (artist)

Paul (Allen) Reed (March 28, 1919 – September 26, 2015) was an American artist most associated with the Washington Color School and Color Field Painting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://prabook.org/web/person-view.html?profileId=768272 )
==Biography==
At the time of his death in 2015 Reed was the last living member of the Washington Color School - an art group that gained national fame in the 1960s. Paul Allen Reed was born in Washington, DC in 1919 and attended McKinley High School.〔 Reed moved to San Diego for college, but soon returned to DC to accept a job at The Washington Times-Herald in 1937 working in the graphics department masking out half-tones in advertisements. At the same time, he took art courses at the Corcoran School of Art during the day. Graphic design jobs would then take him to Atlanta and New York before Reed established himself permanently in DC in 1952. Reed worked as a freelance graphic designer throughout the 1950s to have the flexibility to paint and visit museums and galleries. In 1962 Reed joined the staff of the Peace Corps as a graphic designer in charge of all publication design.
Reed had his first solo exhibition at the Adams-Morgan Gallery in Washington, DC in January 1963.〔 The paintings, executed in water-based acrylic paint on unprimed canvas, were characterized by a centralized image, often with a centrifugal motion within the petal-like shapes. Reed’s next solo exhibition was at the East Hampton Gallery in New York in November of the same year. In the New York exhibition, the centrifugal force of the earlier paintings had now spun off a smaller companion painting that hovered a set distance away. Reed called these works his ''Satellite Paintings'' and they questioned the relation of a painting to the wall. Further exhibitions were held in New York at East Hampton Gallery in 1964 and 1966, the Bertha Schaefer Gallery in 1967 and 1971, and in DC at the Jefferson Place Gallery in 1964 and Pyramid Gallery in 1971 and 1973.
Reed was methodical in his painting, his works fall into considered series; as he developed and refined an idea. The last work of a series is usually the largest, most complex, or has the greatest clarity. In 1965 Reed created his well-known series- the ''Disk paintings'' - where two corners of different color are set off by a diagonal band with a large circle at its center. With these works Reed blended colors by overlapping layers of separate colors, something that was distinct to the new water-based acrylic paints then available. Next Reed created compositions of zigzagging stripes where each line kept its pure color yet created secondary colors at each bend in the ''Upstart series'' of 1965. Further color overlapping was explored with the “plaid” effect of grids in the series ''Interchange'', ''Inside Out'', and ''Coherence'' of 1966. One of Reed’s ''Coherence paintings'' belonging to the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art was recently on view there. Within the Washington Color School, Reed was recognized as the most successful at using the transparency new acrylic paints offered to overlap colors, something Morris Louis (1912-1962) had explored in his ''Veil paintings'' but abandoned as he could not achieve the vibrancy he desired with the first generation of acrylic paints, Magna.
Reed systematically increased the complexity of his color relationships in his shaped canvas works from 1967 to 1972. Reed created increasingly complex forms by adding an additional side to his canvas shape each time he felt he had exhausted the color possibilities of the previous form. With each new shape, Reed applied color lessons learned from the prior series then expanded on them. Looking at the series ''Emerging'' (four sides), ''Topeka'' (five sides), ''Hackensack'' (six sides), and ''Zig-Fields'' (seven sides), from 1967 one sees how Reed created complicated geometric shapes to master intricate color challenges.
Recognition for Reed as an early member of the Washington Color School came with his inclusion in Gerald Nordland's exhibition Washington Color Painters at the Washington Gallery of Modern Art in 1965. The exhibition traveled across the country including the Blanton Art Museum; the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University and the Walker Art Center. The following year Reed was included in ''The Hard-Edge Trend'' at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
In 1971 Reed left his Peace Corps job to teach full-time at the Corcoran School of Art. Reed’s knowledge of art history was extensive, combined with expertise on technique and an engaging wit, he was an inspiring teacher. In 1972 Reed lost his large studio behind the Jefferson Hotel, moving him towards more intimately scaled works he could execute at home. In the 1980s, Reed created photography-based collages that juxtaposed with kaleidoscopic effect art historical and popular culture items, incongruences Reed found compelling. In the 1990s Reed did a series of gouache on paper diptychs that explore light and reflection.
Reed was included in the Corcoran Gallery of Art exhibition ''Washington Color and Light'' in 2011. The same year Reed had solo exhibitions at the Workhouse Art Center in Lorton, Virginia titled ''Ultraviolet to Infrared'': ''Paul Reed - 50 Years'' and at Georgetown University in its library, ''Evolution Through Color: The Art of Paul Reed'', which featured paintings, sculptures, studies, and prints. D. Wigmore Fine Art featured the artist in ''Paul Reed and the Shaped Canvas'' in 2013 and is currently showing three of Reed’s painting in an exhibition titled ''1960s Hard Edge Painting''. Reed’s large scale ''Zig-Field'', 1967 was included in ''Washington Art Matters'': 1940-1980 at the Katzen Center at American University in 2013. He also was historical consultant for the movie project, The Washington Color School film, called ''Unprimed Canvas''. His last few years living in Arlington Va, he mentored artist Barbara Januszkiewicz.
Reed’s work is in museums across the country, including the National Gallery of Art, Phillips Collection, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, all in DC; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Detroit Institute of Art; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Dallas Museum of Art; Greenville County Museum of Art, South Carolina; the High Museum of Art, Atlanta; the Oklahoma City Museum of Art; the Phoenix Art Museum; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Wadsworth Atheneum, in Hartford.
Reed was predeceased by his wife Esther and his two sons Robert Reed and Thomas Reed.
Paul Reed died on September 26, 2015 at the age of 96. He was survived by his daughter, Jean Reed Roberts of Phoenix, Arizona.〔
