Pearson’s early style reflects the European reaction to expressionism and artistic emotionalism in the form of a rational, systematic approach to art (often called the “New Tendency”). An heir to the tenets of Constructivism, he investigated color within a pre-determined linear or grid system that eliminated options after the artist’s initial choices, thus also deferring any aesthetic judgment of the piece until it was finished.
