  • Jean Banas is a 92-year-old abstract expressionist and a major surprise to many critics and collectors who make the ageist and sexist assumption that her dynamic and energetic paintings were created by a much younger man.

    She and her work are wonderful. Her work is on par with the other great abstract expressionists. So deserving of recognition!

    One of the aspects of your abstract paintings which is so appealing and soothing to me is how you have large areas for the eyes to rest. This is the mark of a successful abstract in my opinion. Plenty of action with places for the eyes to take a break.

    I am no where near your age Jean, but oftentimes get despondent when I see submissions requesting only people up to 35! At that age my art was nowhere as good as it is now. I feel one matures artistically with the years - like an old cheese. I will try to remember you when I feel bad about my age. You art is fantastic. So strong and vibrant. May I say happy? Even the dark ones. Go well. M

    What an inspiration! I hope to be one of those grey-haired old ladies of Gloria Steinem's quote who take over the world. But first let's inspire it with our art, like Jean! This is so expressive and full of life!

    92? My gawd, you inspire me. I am an artist who chose to have a family, raising kids and making art professionally limits you but no regrets. Now I am almost 60 and wondering if its just to late to finally go for it and just do what I have been called to do my whole life. I think you may have answered that question for me. Thank you Jean.

    • @sharonjack8582

      You can do it! Monet said he really started to get going in his 60's, using all the knowledge and observations he had accumulated over time.

    Gorgeous paintings and so inspriring!!!! Thank you Jean Banas for your lovely work and sharing your studio with us :) As an abstract expressioinist WOMAN painter, it is ridiculous to think that ART is only a man's domain (still). Classic infuriating sexism. Thank you for being you JEAN and doing your dymanic paintings. You deserve all the attention! Xo

    My God, how absolutely absurd! She needs a visit to the Rijks to see what the real deal is.
    I am an artist almost her age, but I believe that art should be a positive gift to others. It , definitely should not be about the artist
    and their pity party. That is the false ego speaking.
    Art is the spiritual emotion that comes from realms unknown. It is the poetry from “the Cloud of Unknowing,”
    Abstraction is nothing but a chaotic grievance that happens to be in paint.
    Watch that type paint.. they go from table to canvas just doing anything.. inanity
