## Caption

The New Yorker writes on our current Jennifer Bartlett exhibit. On view through March 20. Wed-Sun 12-6pm | Thur 12-8pm. "Ten heavily worked pastels of interiors build on photographs that the artist took while she was a patient at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. The anxieties of illness are conveyed through shifts in scale and a queasy palette of blues, grays, and beiges. Walls with safety bannisters lurch forward, like the sets in “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”; shadows cast from window mullions extend across the picture plane in bold black slashes. Often, there’s a view of the Queensboro Bridge and the F.D.R. Drive. In the best of the pastels here, the East River appears as a tangled spume of violet and navy, as personal an impression as any of Monet’s scenes of the Seine or the Thames."-The New Yorker
