Yvonne Jacquette

Yvonne Jacquette (born 1934) is an American painter celebrated for her luminous aerial and bird's-eye view paintings of urban and rural landscapes, rendered in a richly detailed, observational style rooted in realism with impressionistic qualities. She is best known for her nocturnal cityscapes painted from high vantage points, capturing the glittering lights of cities such as New York and Tokyo with a distinctive sense of atmospheric depth. A significant figure in American figurative painting since the 1960s, she has exhibited widely and her work is held in major museum collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
