Accompanying a major exhibition, this stunning survey and important monograph highlights more than two decadesäóť worth of Lisa Yuskavageäóťs brilliant and controversial paintings. Internationally acclaimed American painter Lisa Yuskavage is known for her seductive yet unsettling work, in which cartoony, vulgar, angelic young nymphs are cast within fantastical landscapes or theatrical interiors. In this dazzling monograph she presents the confrontational imagery, luscious paint, and technical virtuosity that are her signature, blurring the boundaries between high artäóťs classic female nudes and their naughty, soft-porn counterparts.ćThis comprehensive new volume offers a rich overview of the artistäóťs work with interpretive essays by leading art historians and an interview with the artist. This will be the definitive book on this important artist.
