In anticipation of her 2025 exhibition at the Morgan Library and Museum, Lisa Yuskavage presents an unseen series of self-reflexive artworks, highlighting her 30-year journey as an artist. Her works explore the tension between traditional and contemporary interpretations of female form, using diverse mediums like graphite and watercolor. This collection of sketches not only reveals Yuskavage's creative process but also enriches her established themes, providing insight into the evolution of her expressive, feminine imagery. The exhibition serves as a tribute to her artistic identity and evolving visual language.
Yuskavage's triumph lies in the torque of her virtuosity, often referencing herself through expansive work, revisiting poses and motifs as signatures at various scales.
Her latest exhibition at the Morgan Library and Museum arranges fragile pages as the underbelly of her vivid universe, showcasing sketches and small works on paper.
Yuskavage's drawings are experiments in various mediums, revealing a certain satisfaction in her figures' faces, which present an ambiguous and unbound character.
The expressive bodies in Yuskavage's art embody the feminine while straddling the line between traditional nude portraiture and contemporary caricatures of the human form.
