Item Description

George Hellyer's rich, vibrant paintings take center stage in this 70 page book, entitled George Hellyer Still Lifes. This copy, signed to Margrit Mondavi in July 2009, captures Hellyer's paintings. Still Lifes is inspired by the arrangement of real objects, as opposed to constructing the paintings from photographs or images. As Hellyer points out, "The real object with shadows and shadings and a relationship to other objects is much more interesting to work with." Hellyer also recently painted a series of 18th century wine bottles that fellow artist Ira Yeager began collecting some time ago, which will also be included in the exhibition. The wonderful shapes and variation in bottles adds depth and interest to the compositions.
