@Regrann from @chicojefferson - Shirley Jaffe (1923–2016) "Shirley Jaffe, a New Jersey–born abstract painter who lived and worked in France for more than sixty years, died on Thursday, September 29.Jaffe studied fine art at Cooper Union in New York before she moved to France in 1949. Early in her career her works were influenced by abstract expressionism, but she would later adopt a more geometric style. For Jaffe, the shift began after a trip to Berlin in the 1960s. She told BOMB magazine that she began to feel as if her painting were being read as landscapes. “And that wasn’t my intention. I don’t think I was terribly clear about what my intention was, but I knew it wasn’t landscape. At any rate, I was reworking gestural painting and it seemed wrong.” -Artfourm #ShirleyJaffe - #regrann
