Description: Yvonne Helene Jacquette (1934 - 2023)Nightscape, 1997-1998 Monochrome woodcut on paperSigned, numbered 15/100 15 3/4 by 19 3/4 inchesFrom an original portfolio number 15 from the edition of 100, published by The National Museum of Women in the Arts and purchased by Leslie & Johanna Garfield. Purchased from Sotheby's (2024). From AskArt, "Painter-printmaker Yvonne Jacquette was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1934, growing up in Stamford, Connecticut. She studied with Robert Hamilton, Robert Roche, Herman Cherry and John Frazier during four years (1952-1956) at the Rhode Island School of Design* in Providence. Perhaps best known for her aerial panoramic vistas of cities at night, Jacquette has also illustrated books of poetry and been a set designer. Her teaching experience includes the Moore College of Art* in Philadelphia, 1972, visiting artist at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, 1972-1976; Parsons School of Design* in New York City, 1975-1978; again at the University of Pennsylvania from 1979-1982; and Graduate School of Fine Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 1979-1984. Jacquette has been a visiting critic at the Graduate School of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts* since 1991. Most of Jacquette's paintings, prints and pastels evolve from pastel studies actually drawn high in the air from city rooftops, jet airplanes or rented single-engine planes. Some pieces show urban lights sprinkled far below like stars and constellations fallen to earth. Other paintings are closer to the city with signs blazing just above the traffic. Recent works have incorporated the wing of the aircraft from which the view is seen. Her work is in the collections of the major museums of New York City: Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, as well as the Brooklyn Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D. C. and Staatliche Museum, Berlin, Germany.
