Yvonne painted in a big barn attached to the Maine house as friends came and went. Shows of Rudy and Yvonne’s work went on in the nearby town of Belfast. I have been thrilled to see her work since in many major museum shows. She is an artist enamored with the aerial view. All works begin with direct studies made from jet airplanes, city high-rises, or from rented single-engine planes.
Her landscapes have been shown in the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Nocturnal Visions in Contemporary Painting; in the International Survey of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art; and in the traveling exhibition New Work on Paper, organized by the Museum of Modern Art. One can see her pastels, prints, and oil paintings in collections at the Staatliche Museum, Berlin; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D. C.; and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. In 2002, Stanford University organized a retrospective exhibition, titled Aerial Muse, The Art of Yvonne Jacquette. The retrospective traveled from the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for the Visual Arts at Stanford to the Colby College Museum of Art, Waterville, Maine.
Yvonne Jacquette is currently represented by DC Moore Gallery and Mary Ryan Gallery in New York City.

Great post! I read your blog fairly often and I always learn something.
I shared this on Facebook and my friend loved it.
Keep up the good work! 🙂
awesome! Such beautiful and intricate detail. I keep returning to these works. They must be something to see in person. Thanks for sharing this.
These are simply magnificent and exciting. I was so happy there were many to view, THANK YOU.
Stunning images! This is the “landscape” of city dwellers.
love these — especially the rooftops — do you know Cezanne’s “rooftops in spring”? Wish there were some way to download these images — they would make great jigsaw puzzles! no disrespect intended — I’m just always looking for this kind of rich patterning —
lovely paintings! imaginative perspectives!
Aeries, confections, a bird’s view, lets us encompass the sky. Thank you for these views.
