 Here’s a little BLUESDAY inspiration from our American art collection, currently on view in Infinite Blue.American artist Yvonne Jacquette began painting aerial views in the 1970s and has become known for her explorations of perspective and composition in her bird’s-eye cityscapes. To create these views, Jacquette works from temporary studio spaces on the upper floors of tall office towers or apartment buildings. This nocturnal scene was painted from Lower Manhattan, facing east towards Brooklyn. Looking down on the East River and beyond, Jacquette used small strokes of paint to render the water that separates the city’s gridded boroughs and the bridges (with jewel-like suspension cables) that connect them.Posted by Jessica MurphyYvonne Jacquette (American, born 1934).
