Artist Statement (Isabelle Lydick)

The artist I chose was Lisa Yuskavage.


I really enjoy the feel of Lisa Yuskavage's work. They are beautifully painted, especially her "pie face" paintings.  I love the texture of the icing in this work; it looks real.  And most of her work is very in your face, and much of it is provocative, dealing with women as subjects.  But what I enjoyed about her artist statement was that she doesn't apologize for any of it.  She paints for herself, not for others.
