About the Item

He studied painting at the San Francisco Art Institute (formerly known as the California School of Fine Arts) in San Francisco, California and at Mills College in Berkeley, California. Mr. Nelson, who was trained as a painter and was active in the teeming San Francisco arts scene in the late 1950s and early ’60s, began making movies with other artists, including the painters William T. Wiley and William Allan, the San Francisco Mime Troupe and the composer Steve Reich.
About Jeanne Marc studio:
Jeanne Marc was established in 1973 by wife and husband team Jeanne Allen and Marc Grant. Located in San Francisco, the Jeanne Marc label was one of the last to be made completely in the US. The studio lasted until 1998. Jeanne Allen, who edits the collection, came from the Pacific Northwest. She received her BA and MA degrees in English and political science from the University of Washington and was awarded a Rotary Club Scholarship and a Ford Foundation grant in political research. Marc Grant studied on scholarships at La Jolla's Art Center School and the San Francisco Art Academy, exhibiting in California museums, the Metropolitan Museum of art, and the Smithsonian Institute. While still an art student in San Francisco, he worked as a display and graphics director at Design Research, where he met Jeanne. Shortly thereafter they went to Finland, where both worked at the Marimekko factory. After subsequent travel throughout the Continent they went to England, where Marc attended the Brighton College of Art and Design. Returning to San Francisco in 1974, they sketched, stitched, and sold jackets, coats, and other items which caught the attention of store buyers.
“I have been accused of COLOR, CLASH and WHIMSEY. Giving
popular culture a nudge is a favorite pastime—especially when
it comes to architecture and fashion. I’m not a gloomy person—
I think that shows up in my art.” MFG
Marc Foster Grant had his first one-man show when he was thirteen
years old and it was a sell-out. His huge 5’ X 8’ oil canvases of
phosphorescent sea creatures and other life aquatic made Marc a local
celebrity in his hometown of San Diego and led to an invitation from
the San Diego Museum’s Art Guild to become their youngest member.
The year was 1957.
Marc left San Diego for San Francisco State University in 1965 to study
printmaking under John Ihle and Dennis Beal. He continued to exhibit
and in 1970 he won First Prize in the New Paltz Intercollegiate Print
Exhibition that was juried by Louise Nelvelson and in 1969 he won
another First—the James D. Phelan Award for Graphics and a Purchase
Prize from the Achenbach Foundation of Graphic Arts at the Fine Arts
Museum of San Francisco.
Throughout college, Marc taught silk screening classes in his Potero Hill
painting studio and worked at Museum West—an arm of New York
Museum of Contemporary Crafts. Later he became the Display Director at
Design Research International (D/R)--the edgy furniture and design mecca
that became the inspiration for every contemporary shelter store from
Pottery Barn to Design Within Reach.
Marc’s D/R connection led to a silk-screening job at of Marimekko Oy, in
Helsinki Finland. He went on to England for two additional years of
graduate work in printmaking at the Brighton School of Art and Design.
In 1969 the Victoria and Albert Museum purchased his 4’X6’ silk screened
fabric piece entitled, “Haircut? Yes, Please”, for their permanent collection.
This same work was one of 370 pieces selected for the V&A’s Centennial
Retrospective and traveled to five major museums in the USA and Canada.
It concluded in London at the V&A where the Museum’s Royal Patron’s—
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip, invited Marc to high tea.
