 Jane Frank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This multiple-canvas aerial landscape is typical of Jane Frank's later style, with its vibrant yet earthy colors and textures, explicit depiction of its subject, and its apertured upper canvas casting shadows that are both echoed and rendered ambiguous by painted-on "false shadows".
Jane Frank (when she was still Jane Schenthal, of course) received her initial artistic training at the Maryland Institute of Arts and Sciences (now known as MICA, the Maryland Institute College of Art) and at the Park School.
Stanton's text provides a scholarly and perceptive guide to Jane Frank's life and work, and there is a helpful and liberal use of quotations from the artist herself, enabling the reader to understand how Frank's thinking evolved, especially from the late 1950s through the late 1960s.
