About the Item
Henry Kallem was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1912. His first exposure to art was through his father, artist Morris Kallem. Later Kallem studied art at the National Academy of Design and the Hans Hofmann School. He exhibited extensively during his career, including at the Carnegie Institute, four biennial exhibitions at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C., a solo show at the Opportunity Gallery in New York City in 1948, the National Academy of Design, the 1939 World's Fair in New York, and repeatedly at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art Annual between 1936 and 1958. At the Pepsi-Cola exhibition in 1947, Kallem won first prize for his entry, Country Tenement, after which Life magazine wrote an article about modern art. Kallem's paintings can be found at museums, galleries, universities, and private collections throughout the United States. His works are owned by the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Newark Museum in New Jersey, the Chrysler Museum, the Colby College Museum, the Matatuck Museum, Lehigh University, and the University of Massachusetts.

Henry Kallem
Henry Kallem, A painter in abstract style who used wide brush marks and also a printmaker. Kallem was born in Philadelphia. His father was Morris Kallem, a portrait painter, with whom he studied and his brother was sculptor Herbert Kallem. Kallem's studio was in New York City and he and his associates were a part of a group of modernists who called themselves the 28th Street group of modernists because they hung around the Henry and David Rothman Frame Shop on 28th Street. Kallem and others of this group also spent much time in the summer painting in Provincetown and Monhegan Island. He was also a member of the National Society of Painters in Casein and exhibited widely including at the Pennsylvania Academy, the 1939 New York World's Fair and the Pepsi Cola Exhibition of 1947 where he won first prize for his painting Country Tenement. This award caused consternation because of his abstract style and Life magazine, August 1948, ran an article referencing the award with the headline Freak Painting Prizes. Kallem was also a teacher in his studio and in a private school in Roslyn, New York, and at the New York City YWCA.
