'Study 1958' is a robust painting characterised by a dynamic interplay between thinned, tonal brushwork, applied with urgency, and structured slabs of impastoed reds and pinks made with a palette knife. During the 1950s, Heath was associated with some of the most avant-garde artists in England, including Victor Pasmore, Anthony Hill and Kenneth Martin. He became the main link between the St Ives movement and the London based painters of the period.
