Lucy Fradkin

Lucy Fradkin (born 1953)[1] is an American self-taught artist from New York who paints portraits which often include collage elements. She is inspired by Persian and Indian miniature paintings with bright palettes and flattened space[2] as well as the ancient frescoes and mosaics of Etruria, Rome, and Byzantium.[3] In addition, she visited the Brooklyn Museum as a young artist with her mother and got inspiration from The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago which still influences her works.[4]
