Hammersley died peacefully May 31, Charlotte Jackson Fine Art announced. was an incredibly intelligent artist in terms of how he managed his said Wesley Pulkka, visual arts critic for the Journal was one of four California artists who basically invented or developed geometric abstract paintings that became known as hard-edge abstraction was a reaction to what (abstract expressionist) De Kooning had done that left us without a Hammersley said in a 2004 Journal interview. was looking for an internal logic and structure that fit in with what I had been taught about Born in Salt Lake City, Hammersley attended the Chouinard Art School from 1940-42 and 1946-47, and served in the Army during wartime, from 1942-46, according to biographical information provided by Charlotte Jackson Fine Art. He also studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in 1946 and then Jepson Art School from 1947-50.

He taught at Jepson, Pomona College, Chouinard and moved to Albuquerque in 1968, becoming assistant professor of art at the University of New Mexico. Hammersley began painting full time in the early 1970s. is known as one of the Los Angeles-based whose work gained international attention through the exhibition Four Abstract Classicists at the Los Angeles County Museum in Charlotte Jackson Fine Art said in a statement. The term was used to describe the geometric, abstract paintings of Hammersley, Karl Benjamin, Lorser Feitelson and John McLaughlin, the gallery said. always placed himself in the right company.

He made very good Pulkka said about how Hammersley handled his work. four artists (who were part of the Los Angeles County Museum exhibit), I know if any of them with the possible exception of John McLaughlin became as well known as (Hammersley) became in his later Pulkka said Hammersley made his living as a teacher. He sold a painting if he had to, otherwise he held onto his work and had a cache of paintings. gallery people were frustrated because he give them enough Pulkka said. it was a strategic thing.

He held his work back until it became really valuable and then he sold it work appears in collections at the Albright Knox Museum, Corcoran Gallery of Art, High Museum of Art, La Jolla Museum of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Orange County Museum of Art, Pomona College Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Albuquerque Museum, the New Mexico Museum of Art and the University of New Mexico Art Museum. are described as the paintings of the 1950s, the of 1959-64 and then 1965 through the mid-1990s and the of 1964 and 1982 through the present, according to the information provided to the Journal was very, very good at balancing color and Pulkka said. was a very talented artist and he could draw very well realistically a lot of abstract artists get accused of not knowing how to do any other kind of art. But he was very good at portrait work and that sort of Pulkka said paintings were more arbitrary. He would start with a color combination.

The forms were more organic. would kind of just see where it he said. was his kind of counterpoint to the very severe geometric ones that were all balanced and perfect and really well thought He also said Hammersley was one of the first artists to work with creating art on computers. Pulkka said Hammersley did thousands of sketches, sketchbooks that were filled with color and design studies. would develop all these ideas and then when one grabbed Pulkka said, would go ahead and make a painting out of it.

approach was very intelligent, very controlled, and his paintings kind of reflected his career choices, too. placement of objects and shapes and all that in his paintings were as well thought out as his strategy as an artist to keep his work Hammersley is survived by his sister Susie H. Stone of Santa Fe. A 1 p.m. memorial service will take place June 20 at the UNM Alumni Chapel.
