Philip Pearlstein
Philip Pearlstein (born 1924) is a onetime abstract artist who is best known for his unromanticized nudes.
Antisentimental, antihumanist, antierotic, hostile to uncertainty, indifferent to the "psychology" of Expressionist figure painting and the existentialist doubt of AbEx: Pearlstein's work is unlike anything seen in American realism since Thomas Eakins.
