New to J. Kenneth Fine Art. Abstract sacred artist MAURICE MOREL (French, 1908-1961).

Maurice Morel was ordained as a priest in 1939. He associated with the luminaries of the day such as Picasso, Derain and Rouault. He immersed himself in the art of modernist stained glass.

Decorated for his role in the French Resistance, Morel spent the post-war years promoting modern art as a writer and public speaker. He is considered instrumental for inspiring the Vatican's modern art collection.

Paul Keene (American, 1920-2009)

Paul Keene was an influential Philadelphia based artist who helped raised the awareness of both the accomplishments and challenges of African American artists working in the Post-War era.

Keene's paintings created in the 1950s were influenced by his experiences in Paris as a founding member of Galerie Huit, and also during his Whitney Fellowships as a teacher in Haiti.

Important African American artists such as first generation abstract expressionist painter NORMAN LEWIS are featured in this auction.

Norman Lewis faced adversity as a black abstract painter in the predominantly white male art world of the 1950s as well as rejection by many within the African American community for his involvement in what was perceived as a white elitist form of art.
