About the Item

Jennie Haddad (1906-1996) Dallas Artist Image Size: 25.75 x 40.25 Frame Size: 32.5 x 47 Medium: Mixed Media Circa Late 1950s Early 1960s " Ballerina " Signed and Estate Stamp Biography Jennie Haddad (1906-1996) Jennie Haddad (Am. 1906 – 1996) Dallas abstract expressionist painter, Jennie Haddad was born in 1906 in Lebanon and moved to the United States in 1912. Haddad first received formal art training for two years under William C. Palmer (Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute School of Art, Utica, New York). Mr. Palmer was stationed in Tyler, Texas during World War II. In the early 1950’s, she studied art at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas and studied painting with Otis Dozier, Dallas Museum of Fine Arts. In 1956 she moved East, to study with Hans Hofmann, while living in Provincetown and New York City. She studied with him for several years and kept in touch with him until his death in 1966. She continued her studies at the Art Students League and in Woodstock, NY as well as Paris, France at the Academy De Chamyere in 1962. She exhibited across the country including at the National Columbia Painting Biennial in 1957; received the Houston Museum Award in 1957; exhibited at the Delgado Museum in 1959; the 65th Annual for Western Art in Denver, CO in 1959; and at the Denver Museum Invitational in 1969; and at the Dallas County Show at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts in 1958. Jennie Haddad passed away in 1996. “This is solid art. Jennie Haddad has what I’d call ‘painting culture’ in her very bones; she has it by instinct. She was born to paint. I saw that a long time ago, when I first met her and first saw pictures by her. Now I criticize her for not following her vision—which is very much there—more single-mindedly. Well, she hasn’t said her last word yet, not by a long shot. I’m waiting for her to repeat herself. When she does it’ll be nothing like mere repetition; rather it will be revelation.” Clement Greenburg, Art Critic New York EXHIBITIONS: 1957 19th Annual Texas Painting & Sculpture Exhibition Museum of Fine Arts, Dallas, Texas (Received Houston Museum Award) 1957 Columbia Painting Biennial Columbia Museum of Art, Columbia, South Carolina 1958 Dallas Exhibition Museum of Fine Arts, Dallas, Texas 1958 Provincetown Art Association Show Provincetown, Massachusetts 1958 Corcoran Gallery Washington, D.C. 1959 21st Annual Texas Painting & Sculpture Exhibition Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas 1959 30th Annual Dallas County Exhibition of Painting, Drawing & Sculpture Dallas Museum of Fine Arts, Dallas, Texas 1959 Isaac Delgado Museum of Art New Orleans, Louisiana 1959 Retrospective of Four Artists The New Gallery, Provincetown, Massachusetts 1959 H.
