Education

Letinsky has received fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation[4] and Anonymous Was a Woman.[5] She is a professor of visual arts at the University of Chicago.[5][6]

Subject matter

Letinsky's still life work alludes to human presence without including any actual figures. For example, in the Morning and Melancholia (c. 1997–2001), and the I Did Not Remember I Had Forgotten (c. 2002–2004) series, Letinsky seems to document the aftermath of a sumptuous gathering or dinner party.[7]

The Somewhere, Somewhere series (c. 2005) explores similar themes of recently vacated domestic settings.[8]
