About the Item

Joseph Meert (American/Belgium, 1905-1990) Abstract Landscape, signed lower right "Joseph Meert", oil on canvas, dimensions : 20 x 30 in.; wood strip frame, 20 ¾ x 30 ¾ in. inscribed on stretcher : Lyria Landscape, Mari Provenance: Tatti Collection Note : Overlooked and underrated visionary modernist/abstract expressionist artist Joseph Meert (a student of Thomas Hart Benton and a close friend of Jackson Pollock) . Meert studied at Kansas City Art Institute and at Art Students League with Benton, Sloan and Boardman Robinson. Benton considered Meert his best student and had him take over his classes at Kansas City Art Institute while Benton was painting the Missouri Capitol murals. Meert also participated in the Works Progress Administration by painting 3 murals. Meert was Jackson Pollock’s friend and colleague, and may have saved Pollock's life. On a sub-zero winter night in 1943 or 1944, Pollock visited Meert at his New York - Cooper Square apartment; however, Pollock passed out drunk in a snowdrift and would have frozen to death if Meert had not discovered him. © Aaron Gallery Meert's work is in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, National Gallery of Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum .
