Alvin Jacob Held 
      American artist (b. Oct. 12, 1928, Brooklyn, N.Y.—d. July 26, 2005, Todi, Italy), painted black-and-white canvases that featured cubes, pyramids, and circles that seemingly floated in space; in later years his works were infused with vibrant colour. Held became interested in art in his 20s and studied in New York and Paris. He embraced Abstract Expressionism in the 1950s and produced richly coloured works that often depicted oversized letters of the alphabet. Held taught art at Yale University from 1960 to 1980.
