Don Eddy
(American, born 1944)
Biography
Don Eddy is an American Photorealist painter who helped pioneer the movement alongside Richard Estes, Ralph Goings, and John Baeder. Eddy’s well-known painting New Shoes for H (1973–1974), features a spatially complicated scene in which reflections break up the composition into overlapping segments. Eddy has explained he wishes to “force the viewer to see the act of translation from the object to the photo to the painting.” Born on November 4, 1944 in Long Beach, CA, he received his BFA and MFA from the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. Eddy’s works from the 1970s often consist of close crops of the reflective surfaces of vehicles, while his later works are compiled of multiple viewpoints collaged together. The artist currently lives and works in New York, NY. Today, his works are held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Honolulu Academy of Arts, among others.
