Eddy, Don (1944– ). American Superrealist painter. He was born in Long Beach, California, and studied at the University of Hawaii, 1965–9, and the University of California, Santa Barbara, 1969–70. In 1972 he began teaching at New York University. Early in his career he concentrated on automobiles or glossy details of them, but since 1971 he has specialized in depictions of shop windows, in which the reflections of the street are treated just as meticulously as the goods for sale (New Shoes for H, Cleveland Museum of Art, 1973).
