Yeffe Kimball (c. 1905 - 1978)
Cepheus B, 1963
Signed, titled, and dated on the reverse
Acrylic on canvas
34 x 40 inches
Provenance:
Private Collection, New York
Estate of the above, 2022
Born in Mountain Park, Oklahoma, in 1914, Effie Y. Goodman subsequently spent her early years on her grandfather’s farm in Missouri. She attended college in Ada and the University of Oklahoma in Norman from 1931-1935. After college, she went to New York where she worked under distinguished artists such as George Bridgman and John Corbin at The Art Students League in New York in the early 1940s.
She adopted the name Yeffe Kimball, adapting her first husband's surname of Campbell to form Kimball, and never returned to her small-town roots. She became a world traveler and student, studying intermittently with Fernand Léger in Paris from 1940-1941. In 1948, she married Harvey L. Stalin, an atomic scientist. Her art was influenced by Stalin’s work and she entered a new era, focusing on burning planets, atmospheric gases, and flashing comets. Her work was also inspired by American Indian spiritual symbols that are evident in this painting in which the apparition of a face appears to pierce through from a supernatural realm. In 1946, she had her first solo show at the Rehn Gallery in New York. By 1987, she had had more than 55 solo exhibitions.
Space Age Series:
At the time Kimball began painting abstractions in the 1950s, she was married to a nuclear physicist, who owned a sample of “fused earth” from the first atomic explosion. Space exploration inspired her compositions, which recall clusters of
stars and interstellar clouds. Kimball also introduced textural effects and innovative materials like acrylic resin into her work. So dynamic were her interpretations of astronomical phenomena that, in the early 1960s, NASA commissioned her to create new work.
