Themes and
style:
During
the 1950s Pearlstein exhibited abstract expressionist landscape paintings.
Around 1958 he began to attend weekly figure drawing drawing sessions at the
studio of Mercedes Matter. In 1961 Pearlstein began to make paintings of nude
couples based upon his drawings, and in 1962 he began painting directly from
the model in a less painterly and more realistic style. In so doing, he
demonstrated that figurative realism could once again be made into a vital art
form.
Pearlstein's early landscape paintings—usually
rock-strewn hillsides in which every angle, shadow, and shape was seen with a
clinical clarity—foreshadow his treatment of the nude as a natural phenomenon
devoid of any identity other than the attributes of sex and skin color. Before
modernism, painting and sculpture presented the human body in every conceivable
pose and situation sanctioned by history, religion, or mythology, but the
twentieth century brought a new method of comprehending what we see as form for
its own sake. In Pearlstein's paintings, the human body, placed in a corner of
a floodlighted studio, assumes a new range of plastic realities, as the mass
and weight of the body are emphasized in the unstudied character of the pose.
The point of view frequently results in radical cropping of the figure at the
edge of the canvas. The painting Models With Mirror is an example of
Pearlstein's concern for the body as form.
Techniques:
His work
is developed in paintings and drawings.

In his own words:
S”omehow paintings seem to take on their
own content. Paintings seem to imply something, whether you want them to or
not. It’s been very interesting to try to get rid of it, because it’s
impossible. Paintings take on lives of their own. I guess any artwork does.”
