Philip Pearlstein

Nude Lying with Crossed Legs; Two Female Models on Rocker and Stool; and Models with Mirror (F. 11 & 37)

Philip Pearlstein's triptych of prints demonstrates his characteristic commitment to unflinching figural realism through three distinct printmaking techniques: lithography, etching, and aquatint. The works depict female nudes in various poses and studio settings, rendered with careful attention to anatomical accuracy and spatial relationships while avoiding idealization. Pearlstein's choice to employ multiple print mediums and papers underscores his technical versatility and the varied textural possibilities each process offers in representing the human form.

Medium
Two lithographs and one etching and aquatint, two in colors, on Arches and T. H. Saunders papers, the full sheets.
