context_page_description: Janice Biala was an artist whose work, spanning seven decades, is well regarded both in France and the United States. Known for her "impeccable taste and remarkable intelligence", as well as her "intuitive feeling for composition and her orchestration of color", she made paintings of intimate interiors, still lifes, portraits of her friends, and cityscapes of the places she traveled. Her work, which defies easy classification, lies between figuration and abstraction. One of the great modernists, she transformed her subjects into shape and color using "unexpected color relationships and a relaxed approach to interpreting realism."
