Specialist note

Born in New Jersey, Jewett Campbell attended the Art Students League of New York and Cooper Union before moving to Virginia to spend over forty years as a professor of painting and printmaking at Virginia Commonwealth University. While his early work contained notes of romanticism, his paintings evolved into a geometric style as seen in Reflected Glory.

Campbell's The Skaters of 1940 is in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
