Dive Deep: Eric Fischl and the Process of Painting
Edited and with introduction by Harry Philbrick. Foreword by Susan Krane. Interview by Harry Philbrick, Jodi Throckmorton.
Over the past three decades, Eric Fischl (born 1948) has infused American figurative painting with fresh edginess and a new vocabulary of suburban disquiet. Richly illustrated with 148 works of art--including photographs, drawings, prints, sculptures and paintings from 1979 to the present-- Dive Deep: Eric Fischl and the Process of Painting explores Fischl’s rigorous and iterative creative process as well as his exemplary readiness to embrace new technological changes in the service of his art. Fischl’s commentary and preparatory works provide readers with a glimpse of the evolution of compositions and the intensive craft his painting involves. An interview with the artist reveals the nuances of Fischl’s painterly perspective and his extensive knowledge of art history, and places him squarely in the great tradition of artists who have defined the iconography of their age.
