Sommaire:
Major new catalogue dedicated to Eric Fischl, one of the leading figurative painters working in the USA today.Contemporary artist Eric Fischl has been unwavering in his commitment to painting the human figure throughout his long career, revealing the body's central role in determining social and individual experience. As the first major book on the artist in over a decade, this beautifully illustrated publication accompanies a new exhibition,?Eric Fischl:?Stories Told, in Phoenix, Arizona and includes early, well-known paintings and works on paper focused on the inhabitants of middle-class American suburbs with their social taboos, family secrets, toxic masculinity and unacknowledged privileges.Also featured are the recent poetically and revealingly titled series of paintings?Late America, Presence of an Absence,?and?Complications of an Already Unfulfilled Life.?These works were created in the contexts of the pandemic, political activism and division.
