Deconstruction and Eric Fischl |
|||
|
... Eric Fischl walks us through this world in his work. ... Fischl’s paintings are the very subject that is taboo and is all too familiar to the viewer. ... Fischl zeroes in with unblinking curiosity on the discontent of the American middle class, whose territory stretches from Scarsdale to Anaheim: unreachable kids, grotesque parents, small convulsions of voyeurism and barely concealed incestuous longing.1 Eric Fischl was a successful post-modern painter in a time when the trend in the art world wasn’t realist painting. When analyzing his work, critics put him in the category of neo-expressionism, but when I analyzed his work I feel that his work goes beyond that of the neo-expressionist and could also join the ranks of the deconstruction artists of that time. ... He uses devices in his work that deconstruction artists tended to use. Therefore, by looking at Eric Fischl’s work: subject matter, and painting style we can begin to uncover what made Eric Fischl a successful artist in many categories. Fischl’s subject matter is probably his most controversial aspect of his work. ... 2 In his painting Bad Boy, Fischl most famous and controversial painting, we view something we definitely shouldn’t. ... Fischl again uses allegories from past modernist; the bowl of fruit was usually associated with a woman giving herself. ... Fischl meant this to be shocking, it was also compelling because if its authenticity and intensity and because it dealt with sex and money, both American obsessions.3 Fischl‘s work is often compared to such modernist painters as Renoir and Manet, but it is his subject matter that separates him from them. ... Eric Fischl was able to paint about the underbelly of American, yet attract so many admires—seems strange. ... Fischl’s subject is what has been called the crisis of American identity, the failure of the American dream. |
