Description
Elizabeth Joy Peyton (b.1965) is one of the preeminent artists working today. She paints still lifes and landscapes, but above all, portraits: of friends, lovers, heroes, admirations, inspirations and fascinations. Her subjects include artists, activists, actors, athletes, dancers, musicians, queens, princes, politicians and poets. Captured from life, memory, literature and imagination, through found images and photographs, amongst many things her art explores love, individuality, beauty and the passing of time. - This book accompanies a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, devoted to the work of Elizabeth Peyton and is created in close collaboration with the artist. Featuring key examples of her work - it will look at the evolution of Peyton's practice, exploring her unique aesthetic and her interrogation of perception, emotion and human relationships. - The exhibition catalogue explores the development of Peyton's art from the 1990's to the present day, with a particular focus on the last ten years, whilst situating her work within the context of the historic genre of portraiture. Alongside an essay from the curator, Lucy Dahlsen, this book will feature essays by Dr Nicholas Cullinan and Thomas Crow.
