About the Item

Social Climber, intaglio and mezzotint portrait on paper by Lisa Yuskavage, 90s - female nude stylized Social Climber 1996-1998 Signed, titled, and numbered in pencil, recto Intaglio and mezzotint on paper (Edition of 25) 17.75 x 13 inches Lisa Yuskavage (/jəˈskævɪdʒ/ yə-SKAV-ij;[2] born 1962) is an American artist who lives and works in New York City. She is known for her figure paintings that challenge conventional understandings of the genre.[3] While her painterly techniques evoke art historical precedents, her motifs are often inspired by popular culture, creating an underlying dichotomy between high and low and, by implication, sacred and profane, harmony and dissonance.[4] Theoretically, her paintings are associated with psychologically driven theories of viewing, such as that of the gaze.[11] 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]

The engraving differs from the fresco in some details, such as the cityscape in the background and the two winds above, which may indicate that these elements were present in Raphael's drawing.
