A distorted female figure emerges from Dana Schutz's thickly worked canvas, rendered in bold, expressive brushstrokes that simultaneously build and dissolve her form. The paint is applied with a raw, visceral energy characteristic of Schutz's early work, with flesh tones and colors pushed into an unsettling yet compelling portrait. *Claire* exemplifies Schutz's exploration of the human body as a site of psychological tension and painterly invention.
