Jean HalpertâRyden ( nĂ©e Jeanette Muriel Halpert; 1919â2011) was an American visual artist, active in Northern California. [1] [2] She primarily worked in painting, printmaking, and drawing; and her work was shown internationally. [1] [3] She was married to noted artist and designer, Edward Ryden. [1]
Jeanette Muriel Halpert was born on December 26, 1919, in Brooklyn, [4] to parents Mildred and Abraham Halpert.
She attended Brooklyn College, as well as private art study under stage designer Moi Solotaroff (Morris Moi Solotaroff). [4] [3] In her later life she attended the California College of Arts and Crafts (now the California College of the Arts) to study printmaking and lithography. [3]
Her first exhibition was in 1946 at Norlyst Gallery at 59 West 56th Street in New York City; where she displayed six paintings in a group show. [4] [3] In 1946 and 1947, she travelled around the United States. [3]
