Pat Passlof (1928-2011) was a distinguished painter in the abstract expressionist tradition, who studied with Willem de Kooning and was active in New York's downtown art community from the 1950s to her death. Passlof was also a teacher. Passionate and opinionated, she taught at Richmond College, CUNY, Staten Island from 1972 to 1983, and at the College of Staten Island from 1983 until the year before her death in 2011. Passlof was a brilliant writer, and continued her teachings in letters to students. David Jacobsen Loncle was one of Passlof's students, and a close friend. In the course of gathering material for a book on Passlof, he assembled a group of her letters to young painters commenting on their practice, which the Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation has now published as a small clothbound book. The letters are accompanied by a group of nine drawings Passlof made in the late 1940s and early '50s.
