Abstract

"Untitled" takes a close look into the artist's interest in the grotesque, a genre of portraiture that is common to German Expressionism. The image reflects the uncomfortable state of mind, which is a part of the human condition.

Nicole Eisenman is an artist who is expanding the critical and expressive capacity of the Westen figurative tradition through works that engage contemporary social issues and phenomena. Over the course of nearly four decades and working across various media, including painting, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking, Eisenman has restored the representation of the human form a cultural significance that had waned during the ascendancy of abstraction in the twentieth century.
