Jane Smaldone
The Good day

2016

About the Item

Smaldone’s magical paintings combine her long-standing interest in still-life, portraiture, and landscape, interweaving the genres into a highly personal style. Inspired by art historical traditions as diverse and far-reaching as Chinese landscape painting, the Italian Renaissance, Mexican retables, French Surrealism, Early American portraiture, and folk art, Jane fuses her historical references into potent contemporary hybrids. Birds, butterflies and foxes inhabit worlds of fantastic flowers, auspicious trees and rounded mountains in compositions of highly poetic, symbolic, magical and spiritual narratives. Smaldone’s work is included in many private, corporate and public collections including the Peabody Essex Museum, Wellington Management, and the Danforth Museum.
