Ralph Chessé was born in 1900, the literal beginning of the 20th century, in New Orleans. He died at 91, just shy of a full hundred, and the turn of the millennium. The bulk of his life was spent in the San Francisco Bay Area, and his artistic endeavors — painting, sculpture and notably, marionette production and performance — reflected numerous touchstones of the Bay Area’s cultural and social life, from WPA, theater, television and rock and roll.
