Philip Pearlstein (1924 – 2022)
Philip Pearlstein (1924-2022) was a pivotal American realist painter renowned for his modernist nudes & revival of figurative art. Explore his iconic studio scenes, clinical style, and influence on 20th/21st century painting.
Pearlstein, an artist renowned for his decades-long practice of painting the nude—male and female, solo or in company—has rarely depicted the landscape of the city he calls home. Here, he captures the nighttime vista from the window of his New York studio in the West Thirties, near the approach to the Lincoln Tunnel. In his typically inventive way, the artist calls attention to the construction of his composition—the red mullion of his window reminds us that we are looking through a deliberately framed view—just as the Mickey Mouse figurine at bottom right is a humorous reminder of the props of an artist’s practice.
