\u201cI believe in the use of material to the fullest extent possible, to use whatever qualities are contained within, to try to find a perfect cohesiveness between myself as a creator and the material as a living thing.\u201d <\/span><\/i>–<\/span>From Contemporary American Painting and Sculpture from University of Illinois 1961.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Philadelphia, Herbert Kallem moved to New York City to study at the National Academy of Design and the Pratt Institute. After serving two and a half years in World War II, he continued his studies at the Hans Hofmann<\/strong> School of Fine Arts<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> where he met Ted Davis<\/strong><\/a>. Although he did paintings and drawings throughout his life, he was primarily a sculptor and was a member of the Sculptor\u2019s Guild. Kallem taught at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and also kept a studio on 28th Street, close to his good friend Zero Mostel<\/a><\/strong> and other artists who worked on Monhegan.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the late 1940\u2019s, Kallem began to summer on Monhegan. When Kallem wasn\u2019t working in his studio<\/strong><\/a>, he was a visible member of the island community. He could be found doing figure drawings with Zero Mostel in his sketching group, or playing poker with other artists and island residents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kallem showed regularly in New York City, with solo exhibitions at the Roko, Davis, and John Heller Galleries, as well as at Hudson Park Library.<\/span><\/p>\n
