Jacqueline Humphries (born November 17, 1960, in New Orleans) is a renowned American abstract painter married to Tony Oursler. [1] She is known for her large-scale paintings that reference the history of abstraction, combining traditional painterly techniques with contemporary technologies. She has used metallic silver pigment to suggest the glow of a cinema screen, and has incorporated emoticons, emoji, kaomoji, and CAPTCHA tests into recent works that draw on digital communication. [2] Other paintings are produced by scanning her earlier canvases, translating them into ASCII character code, and using custom laser-cut stencils of the resulting images as the basis for new paintings. [3] Humphries lives and works in New York City, where she is represented by Greene Naftali Gallery. [4]

The Black Paintings are a series of 24 minimalism related works executed by the painter and sculptor Frank Stella (1936–2024) in the late 1950s and 1960 in what is seen as being a response to abstract expressionism. The series was executed between 1958 and 1960. Some consider the works to be examples of minimalism and others one of the precursors of that movement in the visual arts.
