Leslie Gillette Jackson | The Verrazzano Series

← Back to Private: Leslie Gillette Jackson's Portfolios  |   More about Private: Leslie Gillette Jackson  |   More POBA Portfolios

Leslie Gillette Jackson (1921- 2013) was a painter and poet. In addition to the poetry series already seen (and heard) on POBA, Leslie created drawn works in a variety of forms, media and subjects. Here we see her Verrazzano Series, a vibrant and moving collection inspired by her time in Europe, primarily in Italy. Leslie used color and shape to form a breathtaking visual symphony that captures many of the tensions she described during her time in Spain as well: opposites and differences, near and far, wide and narrow, high and low, fragmentation and coherence.
