Lisa Yuskavage: Babie Brood: Small Paintings, 1985–2018

Lisa Yuskavage: Babie Brood is the first survey of the artistâ€™s small-scale paintings. While Yuskavage is primarily known for larger canvases, these intimate works offer a new window into her transgressive paintings and complex and influential oeuvre.

Based on the artistâ€™s imagination, live models, maquettes, and found and staged photographs, the small paintings in this book demonstrate Yuskavageâ€™s methodical exploration of how images are created and their sources. Some of the small works are studies for large paintings, while others revisit preexisting images. Yet others are one-of-a-kind compositions only created on this intimate scale. As places for experimenting with color, form, and characters as well as a variety of formatsâ€”including stretched and unstretched linen, canvas boards, wood, and paperâ€”these paintings play a remarkably dynamic role within her work. This catalogue presents the paintings to scale so readers can explore the works as if seeing them in person.

Documenting the artistâ€™s exhibition at David Zwirner, New York, in 2018, this catalogue includes an essay by Jarrett Earnest that illuminates Yuskavageâ€™s early influences and explores the constant, often surprising themes that can be found throughout her art.
