About the Item
Jay Van Everen was a pioneering early American abstractionist known for his affiliation with the Synchromists. His abstract color studies would take him to the forefront of the American avant-garde. The artist created a custom set of hand-made stencils and small wooden blocks of various shapes which he could manipulate freely. This artwork is one of the creations he made utilizing the wooden blocks dipped in colors, outlined by black brushwork.
Jay Van Everen is unknown to most collectors of American art. The artist’s career was cut short by financial demands, and his art was largely forgotten. In 1917 he met James Daugherty, joined the Synchromists, and shortly thereafter embarked on a series of highly original color abstractions utilizing a custom set of geometrically shaped wooden blocks, which he dipped in color and freely manipulated to make his abstractions.
Of the artist Daugherty wrote, “Van was aesthetically provincial and singularly free from influences. His delicate visions of a bright and ordered universe were subtle and complex.” Van Everen’s unique vision was ahead of its time, and remains remarkably fresh today.
