From the air

Picking up a loose end from yesterday's post, I would be remiss if I didn't mention New York artist Yvonne Jacquette before moving on any further. Yeah, it's a bit of a tangent (welcome to my brain, ladies and gentlemen), but she's an interesting painter worth knowing about.


Right Wing II, oil on canvas, 1989

Her work captures the "Oh-my-gosh-I've-gotta-see-this!" feeling that you get (well, I still get, anyway) when looking down from far above.

Lake Shore Drive II, 1997-98


If you want to know more about her, this profile is a good place to start.
