Artists' Visions

Phillip Pearlstein

Mar 18, 1999


Robert Storr, Senior Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, speaks with American realist painter, Phillip Pearlstein. This lecture is part of the 1999 Artists’ Visions series. Storr comments on the state of contemporary realism and emphasizes Pearlstein’s specific influence on the perceived relationship between realism and the Avant Garde. Pearlstein shares slides of his work and speaks about his education, the development of his style, his influences, his controversies, and his experience teaching painting. He describes art as “a series of grammars” that can be applied to different, sometimes not obvious, situations. He explains, for example, the process of painting an abstract image and then translating it into a still life–applying the grammar of abstraction in the context of realism. The discussion is followed with questions from the audience.
