Jean Crist
Mid Century Impressionist Chrysanthemums, Floral Still-Life
1960

About the Item

Wonderful modernist midcentury painting of yellow, bronze and bi-color Chrysanthemums by California artist Jean Crist Rowell (American, 1933-2016), 1960. Signed and dated lower right corner "Jean Crist" and on "Jean Crist 865 Hamilton, Palo Alto" on verso . Presented in rustic frame of period. Image size: 20"H x 25"W. Framed size: 32.50"H x 27.50"W. Jeanese ("Dede") Grace Crist was born on March 14, 1933 in Palo Alto to Eugenia Crist, an artist, and Frank Lee Crist, an attorney. Known as "Dede" to her 19 grandchildren, Jeanese attended Jordan Middle School, Castilleja, and Palo Alto High School (class of 1950). Jeanese went to the University of Oregon and then transferred to Stanford University, graduating with a B. A. in 1955. Upon graduation, Jeanese traveled to France and Italy with two college classmates, marking the beginning of her travels around this amazing planet. Her childhood started the journey of a colorful woman who would enhance the Bay Area community with her 83 years of life. Jean Crist exhibited in San Francisco at and had a show at the Lucien Labaudt Gallery. the Story of the Crist House a Palo Alto Mansion; in 1942, the house was purchased by Frank Crist Sr., the Palo Alto lawyer, state assemblyman and community leader best known for helping to make Palo Alto a town where it's not a crime to imbibe, as the ordinance stated, "spiritous, vinous, malt or mixed liquors." One of the designers is Crist's daughter, Jeanese Crist Rowell of the Palo Alto interior design firm of Jeanese Rowell Interiors. Rowell, who grew up in the house. Indeed, it was Frank Crist Sr. who brought the final suit challenging deed restrictions that prohibited the sale of alcohol within a 1.5-mile radius of Stanford University. In December 1970, a California Superior Court judge agreed with Crist's argument, ruling that the university could not prevent a downtown restaurant from serving alcohol. Six months later, Crist was set to pose for a Palo Alto Times picture sipping the first legal martini at the Shutter (now Henry's). And pose he did, but with a glass of water, not spirits. Apparently, the vermouth didn't arrive in time for the newspaper's deadline, and the photographer couldn't wait. Throughout his life, Crist and his wife, the artist Eugenia Crist, remained active in the political, social and community life of Palo Alto. Crist died in 1991; Eugenia died in January. The Crist house has been on the market for some time, originally listed at more than $2 million but recently reduced. For the past several months, 30 local interiors designers have been painting, stripping, papering, buffing and garnishing the 25-room house in preparation for the show house. One of the designers is Crist's daughter, Jeanese Rowell of the Palo Alto interior design firm of Jeanese Rowell Interiors. Rowell, who grew up in the house, is bringing the kitchen--carefully--into the 21st century, with mahogany cabinets, polished oak floors, black granite counter tops and an original, hand-painted wall mural. 30 local interiors designers have been painting, stripping, papering, buffing and garnishing the 25-room house in preparation for the show house.

Rowell, who grew up in the house, is bringing the kitchen--carefully--into the 21st century, with mahogany cabinets, polished oak floors, black granite counter tops and an original, hand-painted wall mural. But Rowell is designing the kitchen's ample window seat with her father in mind. "My father loved the window seat," she said. "He loved to sit there, looking at the gardens. Most people don't know that he spent almost every weekend back there, that he did the work himself." In a strange twist of time and gender, Rowell's old girlhood bedroom upstairs is being refurbished by San Francisco designer Marian Wheeler as a "gentleman's retreat," complete with black leather upholstery and a zebra rug. But Rowell is more concerned about her parents than the black leather motif in her old room. "It's such a tribute to mom and dad," she said. "They were so much a part of Palo Alto." 1994 Designer Showcase of the Crist house What: Benefit for Children's Health Council Where: Crist house, 865 Hamilton Ave., Palo Alto
