Using Walls, Floors, and Ceilings: Chantal Joffe

Hannah, Gertrude, Alice, Betty, Nadine, Golda, Susan, Claude, Nancy, Grace, Diane.....  is a series of thirty four portraits by London-based painter Chantal Joffe, which will hang salon-style throughout the lobby of the Jewish Museum.  Joffe’s style is direct and gestural. These are not exact or “true” depictions but charged with the artist's technical, conceptual, and emotional responses. Joffe is typically well acquainted with her subjects, but as this group is no longer with us, she had to look further to find vital connections which spurred the creation of the work.
