About the Item

A Unique, Unusual Surrealist Interior Scene with Abstracted Figure by Notable Chicago Modern Artist, Harold Haydon (Am. 1909-1994). Depicting an abstract city apartment interior with an enigmatic figure profile surrounded by a radiant and compelling aura. Executed in Haydon's distinct, abstract "Binocular Vision" style of painting for which his Post-War work is best recognized. A diminutive, eye-catching Modernist painting and a wonderful addition to any collection! Artwork size: 8 3/4 x 12 inches, oil on board, accompanied with a wonderful, original Mid-Century Modern wedge frame (Framed size: 10 x 13 1/4 inches). Signed and dated "Harold Haydon 9-XI-75", lower 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 Chicago with his family in 1917 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.
