Lisa Yuskavage


~~~~~Day, Oil on Linen, 77 x 62 inches, 1994

Isn't the light amazing? The mood is perfect in each of her paintings. Whether it is a semblance of innocence or of eroded/ corrupted beauty, I won't say. Her work is just too loaded. There are many articles about femininity and the male gaze about her work, so i won't even talk about feminism, porn pin-ups, or her agenda. She appeals terribly to my penchant for confrontational sexuality. I'm helpless. She's admirable even more so with the fact that she's worked the paintings to the level of brilliance that the old masters like Rembrandt and Goya have.

This last painting i could have caught in exhibition here a few weeks ago but i didn't. Imagine it standing at 1.2m, the pie in the painting looking so thick you could flick some off on your finger. I still kick myself when i think about it.
