Albert Patecky was a Portland painter and printmaker who created works on both sides of the divide that separated traditional and modern artists in the mid-twentieth century Pacific Northwest. Adept at conventional landscapes and marines, he also created works of extreme abstraction and was thus a pioneer of totally nonrepresentational art in Oregon. In 1949, he sent some of these to Hilla Rebay, the director of the Museum of Non-Objective Painting and she began to display his work at the museum and in international exhibitions.
Patecky’s paintings are in Portland private collections and at the Oregon Historical Society, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (University of Oregon), and Hallie Ford Museum of Art (Willamette University), which organized the exhibition Albert Patecky: Abstractions in 2005.
