The provocative female nudes—partly classical art, partly humor and, above all, very sexy – by Lisa Yuskavage are characterized by an ongoing engagement with the history of painting. Lisa’s oeuvre bears witness to a re-emergence of the figurative in contemporary painting. The subjects of her paintings are at once lavish and vulgar, erotic and cartoonish, angelic young women cast within fantastical landscapes or dramatically lit interiors. Filled with colors, Lisa evokes voluptuous and theatrical atmospheres.
