Earl Cavis Kerkam, (1891 1965) according to Willem de Kooning, Philip Guston, Mark Rothko, George Spaventa and Esteban Vicente “was one of the finest painters to come out of America.”[1] Gerald Norland wrote at the Earl Kerkam Memorial Exhibition in 1966:[2]

”A painter of enormous poetic awareness, self-directed, almost totally without direct influence, he stands as an original American artist in the best sense.”

Earl Kerkam died on January 12, 1965 in New York City.
