Frederick Hammersley
Contemporary (post 1945) Painting
(Salt Lake City, UT, January 5, 1919 - May 31, 2009, Albuquerque, NM)
One of the original hard-edged painters of the 1950s, he paints geometric abstractions with humorous, quirky titles that are puns, accompanying them. He keeps a notebook in oil renderings of his observations, which he also considers original works of art.
