Philip Pearlstein began painting figures in the 1960s and is known as a leading figure in American Realism. His paintings evolved from an expressionistic style to a meticulously analytical vision. He attempts to present the model as a documentation of the painting session, and his paintings are closely rendered under the existing studio lighting.
"I made up my mind that I was not a good existentialist. I'm not concerned with what’s going on in other people's minds. I'm happiest when I can just paint what I see," he says in this interview with Kate Horsfield.
A historical interview originally recorded in 1977 and re-edited in 2007.
