Sandy
Jackoboice:
modern art in a traditional context
No matter
how diverse an artist's work may be, it is inevitable
that he or she be connected in the minds of viewers
and buyers with one favorite piece or, in the case
of Sandy Jackoboice, with a genre in which she has
particular facility. For Sandy, that is florals. While
accomplished in landscape and portraiture, Sandy is
best known for her floral work.
Floral
art has gotten short shrift in recent decades, particularly
after the brutality of non-objective Expressionism
and the coolness of Modernism. However, the ironic
twist that turned the work of one of the greatest
floral artists, Georgia O'Keefe, into a caricature
of the genre is lost of those who still paint floral
work and, more importantly, to those who love flowers
in art.
Sandy
Jackoboice's work can stand on its own two artistic
feet. Yet it is also undeniably a branch of an artistic
family tree whose roots extend back centuries. The
first two pieces on this page owe much visually to
two great traditions of floral work. Full
Bloom is reminiscent of classic botanical
renderings of the late 1700s and early 1800s, where
voyages of discovery mapped not only islands and coastlines
but also plants and flowers. Below that is Spring
Bouquet, whose tight, asymmetrical composition
and subject matter that crowds the horizon of the
painting to nearly the upper border remind one of
French and Belgian works from roughly a century earlier,
when painters were specialists in a given genre. The
colors and light are fanciful, almost playful, and
the depiction of the flowers is more symbolic than
literal.
Children
are a a favorite of portraitists rather than floralists.
But genres often spill over from one to the next.
God's Gifts,
in which a girl stands in a garden in front of a wall
of flowers, joins John Singer Sargent's Carnation,
Lily, Lily, Rose in the tradition of children-in-garden
paintings popular in 19th Century portraiture of the
offspring of landed gentry in both England and America.
Watercolor,
like pastel, occupies a sort of tidal pool in the
ocean of art history. While sculpture, oils and frescos
get the main bulk of the artistic press, there are
strong traditions in both of these media that extend
to early artistic periods. Both media have die-hard
enthusiasts and adherents despite being called "dead"
forms every decade or so. Just Hanging Around
is a pastel but it's smooth rendering, composition
and finely detailed rendering of a complex yet familiar
object is reminiscent of watercolor work. It is an
interest mix of expectations for both media and subject
matter that is appealing and inviting.
In a
nod to the tight composition and severely cropped
picture plane of Georgia O'Keefe, Sandy's White
Lily is a bold statement of the beauty of
form found in flowers. But it is rendered with a wholly
un-O'Keefe-like love of detail that makes the piece
even more powerful than some of the earlier artist's
abstractions.
Despite
references to visual traditions of the past, Sandy
Jackoboice's artwork is a statement of her modern
view of flowers in art. Close cropping and macrolens
detail unite in an artistic depiction of the sensuous,
bold and often explosive nature of the flower in modern
painting.
