Philip Pearlstein (1924 – 2022)

Descubre el retrato de John Philip Kemble por Sir William Beechey (1799). Un ejemplo magistral del neoclasicismo que captura la dignidad y el intelecto del famoso actor teatral.

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.
