(1) Sketchbook Of Drawings ( Pen & Ink, Pencil, Crayons ) Abstracts. Edward Avedisian (1936-2007) was a leading figure in the 1960s New York art world and became known for his large scale acrylic paintings that mixed the hot colors of Pop Art with the cool, more analytical qualities of Color Field painting. From Lowell, Massachusetts Avedisian attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Avedisian moved to New York in 1957, where he frequented the Cedar Tavern and soon met the influential critic Clement Greenberg. By the late 1950s, Avedisian and his contemporaries, including Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitiski, Walter Darby Bannard, and Larry Poons, broke from the tactitiliy of Abstract Expressionism and explored the primacy of the optical experience.
