Pearlstein Prints

 Model and Ostrich

Model and Ostrich

A leading figure of American Realism, Philip Pearlstein began making prints in the late 1960's. Working with the figurative traditions of Western art, Pearlstein manipulates the female nude with extraordinary precision, offering a different perspective of the human body. He abstracts his images by cropping parts of the body, causing the figure to remain clearly distinguishable to the viewer, however, the viewer's imagination must finish the image that continues beyond the perimeters of the canvas. Pearlstein has described this manipulation as "a sort of stilled-action choreography." In his print Model and Ostrich, the highly patterned, richly colored kimono draped over the model's shoulder contrast with the gray wood of the carousel ostrich and stark nudity of the figure combines to make a sensuous work of art.
