Catalog of an exhibition held at the Dallas Contemporary, Dallas, Tex., April 11-August 26, 2018. Spine title. Eric Fischl (1948- ).
Summary:
Eric Fischl (New York, 1948) is one of only a handful of contemporary painters who regularly, though by no means exclusively, employs sourced images, culled from the internet, newspapers, and magazines, to inform his paintings. The artist then adds his own photographs and blends a final ensemble of information and storytelling. No kings or generals or momentous battles move across Fischl?s canvases, and most of his subjects are quotidian rather than grandiose - suburban bourgeois families, art world mongers and awkward social interactions. In his works, communication is nonexistent and boredom is pervasive. The book, published on the occasion of a solo show held at Dallas Contemporary museum, includes more than 120 painting reproductions and a conversation between Eric Fischl and Peter Doroshenko.00Exhibition: Dallas Contemporary, Dallas, USA (12.4 - 26.8.2018).
