William Perehudoff

William Perehudoff (born 1919 in Langham, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian artist, most closely associated with Color field painting. He is married to the landscape painter Dorothy Knowles.

Life and career

Born in Saskatchewan in 1919, his formal education ended at grade four, and worked on his parents farm near Saskatoon for many years whilst developing an interest in art. He became a close friend of the art critic Clement Greenberg, having already been closely associated with Greenberg's idea of Post-painterly Abstraction.

In 1994, he was awarded the Saskatchewan Order of Merit.

Due to failing health, Perehudoff gave up painting in 2001.
