Yvonne Jacquette (born 1934 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American painter and printmaker known in particular for her depictions of aerial landscapes, especially her low-altitude and oblique aerial views of cities or towns, often painted using a distinctive, pointillistic technique. She is currently represented by DC Moore Gallery, New York.
As noted in The Female Gaze, "Jacquette's works begin with direct studies made with pastel on paper or photographs taken from airplanes, skyscrapers, or rented single-engine planes. She has been described as the 'Canaletto of the skies.' Her paintings are intensely colored, elaborately detailed panoramas of cities, and the countryside at various day and night. Unique vies and radical angles draw attention to the act of perception, anthropomorphizing the buildings that occupy her urbanscapes."
