PAINTING - Shirley Jaffe, geometric abstractionist, 1923-2016



Shirley Jaffe was a contemporary of Joan Mitchell, Sam Francis, and Al Held. What a discovery!  How did I never find her when I was studying and enjoying hard edge abstraction, Miro, and Stuart Davis?

The NYT headlines her work as "joyful".  So it is.
