Jean Xceron (1890–1967) was an American abstract painter of Greek origin born in a small village called Isaris, located in the Peloponese. He immigrated to the United States in 1904[1] and studied at the Corcoran School of Art. He worked at the Guggenheim Museum as a security guard for 28 years from 1939 to his death.[2] He is described as a "pioneer of non-objective painting" by the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.[1] His works are in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum[3] and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.[4]
