Titled 'Two Nudes with Adirondack Rocker' lithograph hand-numbered along right edge of paper16/50, and pencil signed & dated 1982. A key figure in the sharp-focus realist movement, Philip Pearlstein was a leader in the early 1960s of the revival of figure painting in America. He experimented briefly with landscapes and then concentrated on the realistic depiction of the nude figure, a traditional subject that had almost vanished from the contemporary art world. His work is characterized by a non-traditional informality, unexpected postures, and unusual perspectives including the radical cropping of figures. In his later works, he introduced rather elaborate backdrops including richly patterned fabrics and decorative floor patterns. Overall Size: 30 x 37 3/4 in. Sight Size: 23 x 30 1/2 in.
