Created circa 1955 this fantastic assemblage work is made of wood on board and hung as a portrait. The lower three quarters are vertical panels of wood the same height and painted green, grey and bare wood. Above them is a band of green paint and a horizontal curved slither of black wood. The board above this is white with a bare wood panel of almost a half circle, suggestive of the sun. As a whole, the composition really works and the colours are very pleasing to the eye. This is a fantastic example of Field's assemblage work from this period.

Red on Orange and Green Abstract Landscape
Painted circa 1955, oil on canvas and hung as a landscape, the composition is red oblongs on a mostly red and orange background with green at the top of the work. It is really pleasing to the eye and the bold brushwork and heavy impasto throughout are superb. This is a fine example of Field's abstract oil painting from this period.
