Titled 'Imaginary Playground' (Trees and Fence), oil on plywood, exhibition labels on reverse. Albert Edward York was born in Detroit, MI, and lived with his aunt & uncle in Ontario, Canada, where he studied at the Ontario College of Art. After serving in the Army during the Korean War, he moved to New York and briefly studied with Raphael Soyer. Albert York was a painter of small and mysterious landscapes who shunned the art world yet had a fervent following within it. His paintings' geometric simplicity, flatness of form and workmanlike brushwork exuded a quiet modernity, as did their wholeness of composition and feeling. York painted only about 200 to 250 works in his lifetime. Most are in private collections and museums. A rare auction of his work took place after the death of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who owned six of his paintings. Overall Size: 12 1/4 x 14 1/4 in Size Size: 8 x 10 in
