Jacqueline Fogel New York Landscape 4 S/N Litho Print
Artist: Jacqueline FogelTitle: New York Landscape 4Medium: Litho print on paperSignature: Signed by artist, lower rightEdition: 480/500Publisher: Marc Chachko & Ira BersteinCopyright: 1979 * Size: 23" x 29" * Condition: Very good; creased corners that can be matted outBiography * Jacqueline Fogel shares with us a wholesome * and delightful point of view. Her paintings are transparent, * lucid and gener ous translations of what many might view as * grimy building facades into sunny cityscapes. * * These tissued layers of color are made to magically * resemble Monte Carlo or the south of France. To one's surprise, * much of the inspiration for these watercolors is drawn from * New York. * * Fogel's multifaceted planes which should recede * far into the distance and give the illusion of depth because * of their tonality and color intensity appear, instead, to be * on the same plane. Because the depth of field is flattened, * the color areas become rather decorative. In addition, the planes * on the buildings are charmingly tilted and destorted, contributing * to the zaniness and gaiety of these paintings. * * Fogel has a graceful sense of composition and * her placement of shapes is always sound. The paintings, while * they seem so effortless and unselfconscious, belie an unobtrusive * and playful artistic intelligence. Fogel enjoys dealing with * visual paradoxes in a natural, unforced and unselfconscious * manner. * *Retrieved from: http://www.rogallery.com/Fogel_Jacqueline/fogel-bio.html * *
