Tess Jaray obituary

Tess Jaray, an Austrian-born British abstract painter known for her geometric, architectural-inspired works, has died at age 88. The article traces her artistic journey from a transformative trip to Italy in 1960, where she was deeply moved by Renaissance architecture, to her development of abstract paintings that evoked space and movement. It highlights key moments in her career, including a mural for the British Pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal and a solo show at the Serpentine Gallery in 1988, as well as her Jewish family's escape from Nazi-occupied Austria and her upbringing in rural Worcestershire.

Tess Jaray, Influential Painter of Understated Abstractions, Dies at 88

Tess Jaray, a British painter known for her understated abstract works featuring grids, cubes, and zigzags on pale backgrounds, died on Sunday at age 88, as announced on her official Instagram account. Born in Vienna in 1937, she fled the Nazi regime with her Jewish parents and later studied at Saint Martin's School of Art and Design and the Slade School of Fine Art, where she became the first female teacher in 1968. Her career included monumental commissions in the 1980s and '90s, a survey at Vienna's Secession in 2021, and an appearance at the Centre Pompidou that same year.

A letter to the editor from Gabrielle Palmer recounts her experience contacting photographer Raghu Rai in 1987 to request permission to use one of his photographs in her book "The Politics of Breastfeeding." Unable to afford the £200 fee, Palmer called Rai in India, who generously waived the fee entirely and wished her well. The letter is a brief tribute published in response to Rai's obituary in The Guardian.
