Janet Fish (American b. 1938) Lithograph in Colors Print "Still Life with Tulips". Pencil signed and numbered. A similar work is in the collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
Known for large still lifes of common objects with bright colors--lime green, pink, yellow--, Janet Fish works from a loft in the SoHo section of New York City and takes pride in the fact that she paints "forbidden subjects," realistic still lifes. Her work, expressive of her highly independent spirit, is a reaction against the pure abstraction that has been prevalent for so many years in the American art world, especially in New York. She was born in Boston into a family of artists. Her grandfather was impressionist Clark Voorhees; her mother was a sculptor, which Janet originally wanted to be; and her sister, Alida, is a photographer. Janet spent much time in her childhood at the Old Lyme Colony in Connecticut with her artist grandfather and there was much influenced by American Impressionism. At Smith College, she studied sculpture and printmaking with Leonard Baskin and also studied sculpture at Yale University. She created her first still lifes in the late 1960s and early hit upon her signature style, which was reflective surfaces often depicted in plastic wrap, glassware, and mirrored surfaces. She also showed brand names such as Windex, which aligned her with pop artists. Her interest in realism and the way light plays on surfaces set her apart from the prevalent modernists, and that decision has literally paid off because her work has been acquired by numerous collectors and major museums including the Chicago Art Institute, the Boston Museum, and the Whitney Museum in New York.
