John Edward Heliker (aka John Heliker)
American, 1909–2000
"Maine Rocks" reflects Heliker's representational style, demonstrating the influences of Cezanne and Marsden Hartley. The piece is strongly reminiscent of other Heliker works from this period in its subject (a Maine landscape; he spent his summers on Cranberry Island, Maine), emphasis on angular forms, and the use of large areas of blended color bordered by a dark outline.
