Jean Xceron Biography
Jean Xceron (1890-1967) was a Greek-American artist known for his structural geometric paintings. Xceron emigrated from Greece to America at age fourteen. Although he studied academic techniques at the Corcoran School of Art, he became inspired by avant-garde movements in New York and Paris. Xceron’s work underwent many transformations over the course of his career, but his paintings are most characterized by their geometric forms and influences varying from Cubism, De Stijl, and Dada. During his lifetime, he worked as an art critic, a muralist for the WPA, and a security guard at the Guggenheim Museum, where he gained the favor of director Hilla Rebay. His work can be found in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Guggenheim Museum.

This gorgeously colored gouache painting on thick paper was created at a time when the Guggenheim Museum (Museum of Non-Objective Painting) was collecting Eldred's work, alongside works by Kandinsky and Bauer. Unique works like this by Eldred are very desirable in the marketplace. It typifies the artist's eclectic style, reflecting his involvement with Surrealism and the New York School. It also highlights Eldred’s excellent draftsmanship through the characteristic bright colors and patterns that he developed during his time as a naval wood pattern maker in the merchant marines...
