About the Item
Jean Xceron is a Greek-born American artist who participated actively in ushering the transition from modernism to Abstract Expressionism in American art. His canvases present a range of increasingly abstract forms, starting with recognizable figures and scenes that border on cubism, which later gradually dissolve into non-figural curves and colors that are entirely abstract.
Formerly in the collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, IKON NO. 386, is later mentioned in a New York Times review of a 1984 retrospective at Kouros Gallery:
"One of the most beautiful works here is ''Ikon, No. 386'' (1954), a smaller canvas in which a darkly colored glyphic being - almost like a cave drawing - is conjured from a nondescript ground. [...] The freer spirit manifest by it, however, is plentifully evident in a slew of small-scale, sometimes Kleelike watercolors and ink-wash drawings. They delightfully reveal a much less formal side to this gifted artist, whose oils do not reward the viewer easily."
