Lisa Yuskavage Biography

Lisa Yuskavage is one of the most popular and richest Painter who was born on May 16, 1962 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Yuskavage was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1962. After attending Temple University’s Tyler School of Art, she studied abroad in her third year at the Tyler School of Art’s Rome program. She then received her BFA in 1984. Yuskavage earned her MFA in 1986 from Yale School of Art.

Lisa Yuskavage: the Brood was opened in Waltham, Massachusetts, at Rose Art Museum of Brandeis University, September 2015. The major solo exhibition featured the artist’s work from 25 years. Yuskavage also appears in The Artist Project, an online series that was launched by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in March 2015. In it, she discusses Edouard Vuillard’s The Green Interior (1891).

Theoretically, her paintings are associated with psychologically driven theories of viewing, such as that of the gaze. However, the complexities inherent in her paintings deny singular interpretation; as curator and critic Christian Viveros-Fauné explains: “Yuskavage’s oeuvre… succeeds exactly to the degree that it refuses to be pinned down to any one of its many conflicted meanings. ‘I only load the gun’, [Yuskavage] has been known to say to those who insist on viewing a painting as an explanation.”[1]

Yuskavage’s oeuvre is characterized by her ongoing engagement with the history of painting, and in particular the genre of the nude. Her paintings also encompass landscape and still life genres, with all three often appear within a single work. Yuskavage’s unique use of color is imbedded in Renaissance techniques as well as Color Field painting, and she cites diverse inspirations, including Italian painter Giovanni Bellini, Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, and French painter Edgar Degas.

Yuskavage was the recipient of the Tiffany Foundation Grant (1996), the Founder’s Day Certificate of Honor Tyler School of the Arts, Philadelphia (2000), and the Temple University Gallery of Success Award Temple University, Philadelphia (2005).
