John Edward HelikerAmerican, 1909 - 2000

In 1948 a Prix de Rome enabled Mr. Heliker to go to Italy, which made a lasting impression on his work and where he began a long friendship with the painter Philip Guston, who had received the same award. As with Guston, he was liberated by Italy's light, landscape and history and, paradoxically, moved his work toward abstraction.
