Artists in conversation

Maria Lassnig
Austrian · b. 1919

Lassnig created expressive figurative portraits using acrylic on canvas that similarly explored questions of identity and the self through bold, psychologically charged mark making. Her work shares Bergman's raw expressivity and focus on the human figure as a vehicle for deeper personal inquiry.

Nicole Eisenman
American · b. 1965

Eisenman is an American figurative painter whose expressive portrait and figure works on canvas explore identity and contemporary human experience with a similarly loose, layered painterly approach. Her combination of humor, psychological depth, and expressive technique closely mirrors the qualities found in Bergman's work.

Amy Sillman
American · b. 1955

Sillman creates expressive figurative paintings using acrylic that blend abstraction with portraiture and identity exploration in a distinctly contemporary American context. Her layered surfaces and gestural approach to the human figure align closely with the expressive mixed media sensibility of Bergman's portrait work.
