William Pajaud (American, 1925 - present)

Born and raised in New Orleans where his father was a jazz musician, William Pajaud has created work that spans more than fifty years and covers such diverse topics as traditional New Orleans Jazz Funerals, Negro Spirituals, landscapes of Thailand, and the Old Testament. He currently resides in Los Angeles. Many of his paintings are contemporary figurative in style with emphasis on design and are done with both oil and watercolor. Wet into wet transparent watercolor is a specialty.

Pajaud studied at Xavier University in New Orleans, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree and exhibiting at art exhibitions of black artists. He then spent time in Chicago and in 1948 arrived in Los Angeles where he enrolled at the Chouinard Art Institute.

Heritage Gallery published the following stone lithographs. The printer was Lynton Kistler, the most prestigious stone lithographer in the 20th century. Each lithograph is signed and numbered by the artist. Each bears the authentication, verso. The sizes are 20" x 26" each.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

"Both my ethnic and cultural backgrounds serve as root sources of my work. The awareness and acceptance of humankind-universal, flowing life's awesome rhythms with dignity in pain, joy, poverty, and often jubilation-cause me to paint. My primary need is to show my gut reaction to man's coping with the cycles of life and death. The aesthetic results of attempting to communicate these universal concepts is to me almost coincidental."
