ERIC FISCHL. BEACH PAINTINGS

ERIC FISCHL (1948-)

This beautifully designed volume of 200 of Eric Fischl’s beach-inspired works is a celebration of life at the beach by one of the most significant American painters of nudes and figurative works today. This collection of the artist’s beach paintings—the first book to bring together this exceptional body of work—unites paintings, photographs, watercolors, charcoals, and more in a sumptuous volume that is an ode to beach culture and a book to treasure long after summer ends. With a short story by critically acclaimed American novelist A. M. Homes, this book is a remarkable pairing of painterly aesthetic and literary style.

OM FORFATTEREN/KUNSTNEREN: Represented by Mary Boone Gallery, Eric Fischl has exhibited with major institutions and galleries, such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and MoCA, among many others. Fischl lives and works in New York City and Sag Harbor. A. M. Homes is an award-winning novelist and short-story writer. Her books include Music for Torching, The End of Alice, This Book Will Save Your Life, and The Safety of Objects, among others.

“Dive into this book to marvel at Fischl’s swathes of sun-washed color, the way the casual bend of a torso suggest a figure by Degas; then, at midpoint, stop and read the shrewdly observant A.M. Homes short story…” ~O, The Oprah Magazine
