William Bailey

Upper Midwestern Artists | Born 1930 | Council Bluffs, Iowa

William Bailey was born in Council Bluffs, IA and went on to become the Dean of the Yale School of Art. He has been creating simple, yet enigmatic still life paintings for over forty years. He uses the basic forms of ceramic vases, bowls, pitchers, and other similar objects as “actors” in his artworks to explore the different relationships between their shapes and sizes.
