Philip Pearlstein "Then and Now"
Betty Cuningham Gallery
This event has ended.
The exhibition will include approximately 12 paintings by Philip Pearlstein, half from the 1960’s and the other half from the 1990’s up to the present. By presenting paintings from the late 1960’s alongside paintings from the 1990’s to the present, the exhibition will reveal the unique evolution in Pearlstein’s work. Throughout his career Pearlstein always held a commitment to staying with representation but stripping it of content. Inspired by Pearlstein, in the 1960’s John Perrault wrote the manifesto for the New Realism:
No stories; no allegories; no symbols.
No hidden meanings; no obvious meanings.
No philosophy, religion, or psychology.
No jokes. No political content. No illustration.
No fantasy or imagination; no dreams; no poetry.
