Jessica Keiser
Pencil Study #6

2016

About the Item

Pencil Study #3 2016 Graphite on paper 11 x 8 inches Jessica Keiser currently resides in New Haven, Connecticut. Keiser's style is Naturalistic, concerned with the intimacy of the creation of the portrait. Flying in the face of art Modernists, her work is immersed in the traditional and devoid of irony or commentary. Keiser's expertly rendered portraits highlight the axiomatic truth that much of the interior lives of the people we encounter in our daily lives are inaccessible and fundamentally enigmatic. Therefore, the viewer is driven to assign a particular narrative or an assumed persona to the subject, facilitating an alluring and vivid illusion. The result is decidedly emotionally evocative, an homage to the hours of observation and methodical recording that Keiser undertakes in her creative process. Jessica Keiser studied drawing and painting at the Florence Academy of Art, and then briefly at the University of Missouri, Columbia. After two years in the MFA program at MU, she decided to switch paths and pursue a Ph.D. in philosophy. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Yale University, where she is writing a dissertation the philosophy of language. She periodically gives lectures on the philosophy of art at the US branch of the Florence Academy, and continues to make portraits during stolen time.

    Located in London, GB
    Charcoal on paper, 56cm x 38cm, (79cm x 60cm framed). Provenance: The Artist’s sister. From the mid-1940s to the early 1950s Colquhoun was considered one of the leading artists of his generation. Along with that of Robert MacBryde, another artist and Colquhoun’s partner, his work was regularly shown at the Lefevre Gallery in London. This early work is likely to be a drawing from when Colquhoun was at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1930s. Known as the ‘Two Roberts’, Colquhoun and MacBryde met at the Glasgow School of Art in 1932 and lived together until Colquhoun’s death in 1962. The pair also exhibited in several group shows at the Lefevre Gallery, including one in February 1946, alongside Ben Nicholson, Graham Sutherland, Bacon and Freud. Works were bought by the Arts Council, the British Council, the Contemporary Art Society and the Imperial War Museum. Major art patrons added their work to their collections, including Sir Kenneth Clark...
