About the Item
A rare and exceptional American abstraction.
The piece exhibits architectural qualities, such as the large building forms and shapes reminiscent of a window and stairs. Xceron brings a nuanced constructivist composition to life, giving it a nightlife feel and minimalist tonality. Xceron stands out as one of the few American artists who have been successful at constructivist abstraction and is recognized in sophisticated circles for his exceptional talent.
He enrolled in the Corcoran School of Art, where notable artists like Thomas Benton also attended. In 1920, he moved to New York, where he immersed himself in the modernist movements, associating with the likes of Joaquin Torres-Garcia, Max Weber, Abraham Walkowitz, and Joseph Stella. From 1927 to 1935, Xceron resided in Paris, working as an art critic at the Boston Evening Transcript and the Paris edition of the Chicago Tribune. Xceron frequently moved back and forth between New York and Paris, showcasing his works in both cities. In 1939, Xceron permanently moved back to New York, later passing away in the city in 1967.
The painting is signed lower right and on the verso and dated.
