description Philip Pearlstein Overview
Philip Pearlstein was an American painter associated with the revival of realist figure painting in the 1960s. He became known for unsentimental studio paintings of nude models shown as physical bodies rather than idealized or narrative subjects, often using unusual viewpoints that crop heads or limbs at the canvas edge. His carefully observed interiors may include patterned fabrics, furniture, mirrors, and decorative objects, making his work significant to students of postwar American realism.
