Adrian Heath

Adrian Heath (1920, 1992) was a British abstract painter and a central figure in the post-war British abstract art movement. Influenced by his friendship with Ben Nicholson and exposure to European modernism, particularly the work of Cézanne and Braque, Heath developed a geometric abstract style characterized by carefully structured compositions of interlocking planes and muted tones. He was a key advocate for abstraction in Britain, organizing influential exhibitions in his London studio in the early 1950s that helped establish a community of abstract artists.
