Shirley Jaffe (née Sternstein, October 2, 1923 – September 29, 2016) was an American abstract painter. Her early work is of the gestural abstract expressionist style, however in the late 1960s she changed to a more geometric style.[1] This change was initially received with caution by the art world, but later in her career she was praised for the "idiosyncratic" and individual nature of her work.[2] She spent most of her life living and working in France.[3]
