ABOUT THE ARTIST

Patrick Heron (1920-1999) was a painter, textile designer and writer on art. Born in 1920 in Leeds, he was the son of T.M. Heron, founder of Cresta Silks, which the artist later designed for. He lived at St Ives 1925–30, before studing at the Slade School in London from1937–9. His painting was interrupted by the war, after which he settled in London and began to paint again. Heron turned to abstract art under the influence of American abstract painting 1956 and moved the same year to Zennor, Cornwall. He played a major role in the development of post-war abstract art, and was an innovative figure in twentieth-century British art. A large number of his works form part of Tate's collection.
