About the Item

Jean Xceron is a Greek-born American artist who participated actively in ushering the transition from modernism to Abstract Expressionism in American art. His canvases present a range of increasingly abstract forms, starting with recognizable figures and scenes that border on cubism, which later gradually dissolve into non-figural curves and colors that are entirely abstract. Formerly in the collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, IKON NO. 386, is later mentioned in a New York Times review of a 1984 retrospective at Kouros Gallery: "One of the most beautiful works here is ''Ikon, No. 386'' (1954), a smaller canvas in which a darkly colored glyphic being - almost like a cave drawing - is conjured from a nondescript ground. [...] The freer spirit manifest by it, however, is plentifully evident in a slew of small-scale, sometimes Kleelike watercolors and ink-wash drawings. They delightfully reveal a much less formal side to this gifted artist, whose oils do not reward the viewer easily."

Abstract
By Frederick Conway
Located in New Orleans, LA
Frederick Conway (1900-1973) was a painter, educator, and lecturer. From 1929 to 1970, Conway was a member of the faculty of the Washington University Art School. When Max Beckmann was in residence at Washington University, he and Conway became close associates. Conway was one of the first to realize the importance and seriousness of Beckmann's teaching. In 1949, Beckmann painted Conway's portrait.

He painted murals for the WPA (Works Progress Administration...
