About the Item

Still Life (Untitled), c. 1940/50s, oil on canvas, 25 x 30 inches, identified by label verso Jeanette Maxfield Lewis was a California-based landscape painter and etcher. Born in Oakland, she spent much of her career as an artist in Northern California and along the California coast. Lewis attended Castilleja School for Girls in Palo Alto where she was first exposed to fine art and was inspired to pursue painting. She then studied at the California School of Fine Art, with Winold Reiss and Hans Hofmann in New York where she was exposed to core modernist principles, and Gottardo Piazzoni and Armin Hansen in California. For a time, she worked for Foster and Kleiser, an outdoor advertising company with a paint factory in San Francisco. As a fine artist, she is best known for detailed moody etchings and brightly colored, loosely brushed and expressive modernist landscapes of California, usually painted in oils. She also applied the same technical and aesthetic approach to her still life painting, such as the present example. Her professional career extended into the early 1960s, but her artistic practice stopped with the death of her husband in 1964.
