Tess Jaray, painter and teacher inspired by architecture, 1937–2026

Tess Jaray, the British painter known for geometric abstract works and architectural public commissions, has died at age 88. Born in Vienna in 1937, she studied at the Slade School of Art under Ernst Gombrich and became the school's first female teacher in 1968, running its postgraduate course for nearly three decades. Her hard-edge paintings, inspired by Renaissance architecture, evolved into public artworks such as the terrazzo floor at London Victoria station, the stone floor at St Mary's Church in Nottingham, and the forecourt of the British Embassy in Moscow. Major exhibitions included a 2024 retrospective at the Millennium Gallery in Sheffield and a 2021 solo show at Secession in Vienna.

Ben Morea, an abstract painter and leading figure of the 1960s anarchist group Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers, has died at age 84. Morea sought to collapse the boundary between art and political revolution, using provocative actions and profane slogans to challenge both the art world and the establishment. He was loosely at the helm of the radical collective, which blended street theater, direct action, and anti-war protest in New York City.
