Artist Biography:
Jewesson is a painter, printmaker, ceramic artist, and jewelry maker. His works are not easily categorized. He is associated with the Pattern and Decoration movement, artists who combined design elements into their paintings and drawings blurring the line between fine art and decoration. These artists looked to the global world for inspiration often using decorative motifs from Islamic art, Mexican folk art, Roman mosaics, Middle Eastern textiles and more. Jewesson’s inspiration came from the architecture of Santa Barbara, referencing iron gates and architectural details of Spanish colonial architecture. He prefers bright vivid colors – a palette that represents the influence of San Antonio, Texas where the artist lived for many years.
Kenneth Jewesson was born in 1939. He studied art at San Fernando Valley State College and later at University of California, Santa Barbara. In 1969, he was appointed to the faculty of the Santa Barbara Art Center. The Brooks School separated from the school leaving the fine art school, which renamed itself the Santa Barbara Art Institute in 1971. Jewesson eventually took the position of Institute Director, but at a time when the school was struggling financially. The Santa Barbara Institute of Art closed in 1974. He then became director of the Glassell School of Art associated with the Houston Art Museum. Later on, he served as director of the San Antonio Art Institute and lecturer at University of Texas at San Antonio. He returned to Santa Barbara in his retirement.

- Two Wood Ducks on a Flowering BranchBy Joseph StellaLocated in New York, NYJoseph Stella was a visionary artist who painted what he saw, an idiosyncratic and individual experience of his time and place. Stella arrived in New York in 1896, part of a wave of Italian immigrants from poverty-stricken Southern Italy. But Stella was not a child of poverty. His father was a notary and respected citizen in Muro Locano, a small town in the southern Appenines. The five Stella brothers were all properly educated in Naples. Stella’s older brother, Antonio, was the first of the family to come to America. Antonio Stella trained as a physician in Italy, and was a successful and respected doctor in the Italian community centered in Greenwich Village. He sponsored and supported his younger brother, Joseph, first sending him to medical school in New York, then to study pharmacology, and then sustaining him through the early days of his artistic career. Antonio Stella specialized in the treatment of tuberculosis and was active in social reform circles. His connections were instrumental in Joseph Stella’s early commissions for illustrations in reform journals. Joseph Stella, from the beginning, was an outsider. He was of the Italian-American community, but did not share its overwhelming poverty and general lack of education. He went back to Italy on several occasions, but was no longer an Italian. His art incorporated many influences. At various times his work echoed the concerns and techniques of the so-called Ashcan School, of New York Dada, of Futurism and, of Cubism, among others. These are all legitimate influences, but Stella never totally committed himself to any group. He was a convivial, but ultimately solitary figure, with a lifelong mistrust of any authority external to his own personal mandate. He was in Europe during the time that Alfred Stieglitz established his 291 Gallery. When Stella returned he joined the international coterie of artists who gathered at the West Side apartment of the art patron Conrad Arensberg. It was here that Stella became close friends with Marcel Duchamp. Stella was nineteen when he arrived in America and studied in the early years of the century at the Art Students League, and with William Merritt Chase, under whose tutelage he received rigorous training as a draftsman. His love of line, and his mastery of its techniques, is apparent early in his career in the illustrations he made for various social reform journals. Stella, whose later work as a colorist is breathtakingly lush, never felt obliged to choose between line and color. He drew throughout his career, and unlike other modernists, whose work evolved inexorably to more and more abstract form, Stella freely reverted to earlier realist modes of representation whenever it suited him. This was because, in fact, his “realist” work was not “true to nature,” but true to Stella’s own unique interpretation. Stella began to draw flowers, vegetables, butterflies, and birds in 1919, after he had finished the Brooklyn Bridge series of paintings, which are probably his best-known works. These drawings of flora and fauna were initially coincidental with his fantastical, nostalgic and spiritual vision of his native Italy which he called Tree of My Life (Mr. and Mrs. Barney A. Ebsworth Foundation and Windsor, Inc., St. Louis, illus. in Barbara Haskell, Joseph Stella, exh. cat. [New York: Whitney Museum of American Art, 1994], p. 111 no. 133). Two Wood Ducks...Category
