About the Item

Signed lower right, "Jean Kalisch" (American, 1912-1995) and painted circa 1965. Previously with: Pomeroy Galleries, San Francisco (stamped, verso, and with old label) Born in Japan, Jean Kalisch started her art training early and, when she was seven years, began to receive additional instruction in Chinese brush and ink calligraphy. This early discipline allowed her to develop intuitive brushwork. Her training in pencil drawing of landscapes and oil painting continued until she was seventeen. She then moved to Tokyo to study chemistry, with the intention of becoming a pharmacist. After World War II, she married an American serviceman and moved to California where she resumed her career as an artist, exhibiting widely and with success.

Richard Jerzy Watercolor "Red Chair" Interior with Flowers & Chair
By Richard Jerzy
Located in Detroit, MI
"Red Chair," though an interior scene, is arranged like a still-life with the furniture and objects slightly off-kilter in the creative manner of Marc Chagall's interiors, the Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. These non-fixed objects lend a floating energetic atmosphere and the brilliant colors contribute to the liveliness of this warm inviting interior. Richard Jerzy was a well-known watercolor artist from the Detroit, Michigan area. His signature works were figures and still lives, and many famous Michigan families are collectors. "He was probably the most promising, successful, exciting artist in the state of Michigan," said Miriam Parel, a fellow artist and friend for more than 30 years. He grew up on Detroit's east side and developed an interest in painting as a teenager. He attended Detroit's Center (now College) for Creative Studies. Other well- known CCS faculty and graduates are Susan Aaron-Taylor, Harry Bertoia, Doug Chaing, Stephen Dinehart, Tyree Guyton...
