Yuskavage Lisa Book

One of the most exciting young American painters today, Lisa Yuskavage creates work that it is both unsettling and seductive. Populated by anatomically incorrect nymphets and other female anomalies, her work brings to mind a grotesque take on Keane kids or Vargas paintings, filtered through a skewed sense of self-portraiture. Her paintings invite comparisons both to John Currin and Rembrandt, presenting often disturbing subject matter in the frame of an enticing and physically stunning formal composition. Her figures lurk in shadowy yet colorful atmospheres ignited by expressionistic highlights, deftly moving between representation and abstraction. This monograph-accompanying her first major solo exhibition and focusing on work from 1995 to the present-is sure to add to the accolades she is currently receiving apropos of her work in the latest Whitney Biennial.Read More
