The definitive monograph on innovative American painter Lisa Yuskavage
Lisa Yuskavage is one of the most acclaimed living painters. Known for her highly original approach to figurative painting, Yuskavage challenges conventional understandings of the genre. At times playful and at other times rueful, her bold, eccentric, exhibitionist, and introspective characters inhabit fantastical and vivid compositions, assuming the dual role of subject and object.
Although inspired by popular culture, the artist's technique is deeply rooted in the history of painting, establishing an underlying tension between polar opposites such as high and low, sacred and profane, harmony and dissonance.
Yuskavage's first proper monograph features more than 150 color images, including never-before-seen photographs of her studio, along with insightful text contributions from Barry Schwabsky, Lena Dunham, and Ariel Levy.
Ariel Levy is a staff writer at The New Yorker.
Barry Schwabsky is a writer, poet, and Reviews Editor of Artforum.
Lena Dunham is a writer, director, actress, producer, and creator of the HBO TV series 'Girls'.
Jason Schmidt is a photographer based in New York.
