About
Why this artist matters now
Jean Follett was an American painter and printmaker working in oil and lithography during the postwar period. Her abstractions retained gestural marks and spatial depth, bridging informal abstraction of the 1950s and 60s with sustained engagement in color and form. Active from the mid-twentieth century through the 1980s, her work occupies a distinctive position between gestural expressionism and color-based investigation.
