- Description:
Gripping and mysterious painting by this highly accomplished and recognized
American abstract expressionist painter. Crayon and Watercolor on
paper. Signed and dated 1947. An early work, this piece was created
during John Grillo's brief two years at the California School of Fine
Arts, San Francisco while taking classes with Elmer Bischoff, David
Park, Hassel Smith, Jean Varda and Mark Rothko. Today, Grillo is acknowledged
as perhaps the first and purest "Action Painter" on the
West Coast, and one of the most influential painters of San Francisco's
school of Abstract Expressionism. In the summer of 1947, Grillo left
the Bay Area for New York to study with Hans Hofmann.
The last three
images are scans from the exhibition catalogue "John Grillo:
A Painter's Life of Expression - Works from 1938 to 2002" (by
Susan Landauer and Robert A. Whyte), with a comprehensive Chronology,
and select lists of Museum Collections, Solo and Group Exhibitions.
