Lisa Yuskavage: Babie Brood is the first up-to-date survey of the artist’s small-scale paintings. Known primarily for larger canvases, these intimate works offer a new window into Yuskavage’s transgressive paintings.Based on the artist’s imagination, live models, and maquettes, among other things, the small paintings in this book demonstrate Yuskavage’s methodical exploration of how images come into existence, and where they come from. Some of the small works are studies for large paintings, while others revisit pre-existing images. Yet others are one-of-a-kind compositions only created on this intimate scale. As places for experimenting with color, form, and characters as well as a variety of formats—including stretched and unstretched linen, canvas boards, wood, and paper—these works, play a remarkably dynamic and role within her oeuvre. This catalogue presents the paintings to scale so readers can explore them as if seeing them in person.Documenting the artist’s exhibition at David Zwirner in New York in 2018, this catalogue includes an essay by Jarrett Earnest illuminating Yuskavage’s early influences and exploring the constant, often surprising, themes that can be found throughout her oeuvre.

My desire is for women and the youth's today be empowered by sound godly wisdom so that they will know who they are and always remain strong enough to follow their dreams.
I believe that I was born with the disease of addiction, it was just waiting for the right time to shine. The summer going into grade nine proved to be that moment. I loved how alcohol and drugs made me not care or think about how sad I was. Over the years I have been and still am addicted to many things. I've struggled with this disease, I have lost and I have conquered. Just when I think I'm in control along comes a crisis or a new relationship that tests my boundaries and my will. Until we've worked on the part of the brain that causes these distorted thoughts we are going to continue repeating the cycle of insanity.

There she was doing it again. Every time she walked out into the corridor or into the dining room, she did a complete scan looking for him and she didn't understand why. They'd never spoken or even been introduced. At 33, Lisa Ann Tripp looked nice enough, and sexy too, to command anyone's attention. She was 5 foot-6 inches tall with auburn tresses that fell on and below her shoulders, emerald eyes and a special smile that would make anyone think they were special. Yes, she was still hurting from her recent breakup but, Trey Dulany, the object of her affection, she thought she wanted him to be, worked in the employee pharmacy, on the opposite side of the long corridor, as an assistant at Vidant Medical Center. She'd done her homework knowing that he was single, and he'd been in the pharmacy 7 years. Before that, ECU and was still enrolled there. The magic happened and unbelievably, by Christmas, they were engaged to be married come next June. He'd be at VCU in Richmond, VA for 5 months finishing his degree work. Then he could take the state test and be licensed as a pharmacist. Everything was falling in place, her Mountain Man, he was from Asheville, would be hers but she made a surprise visit in late March finding him at Nate's with that woman
Lisa Moore's stories are bright, emotionally engaging, tangible. She marks out the precious moments of her characters' lives against deceptively commonplace backdrops — a St. John's hospital cafeteria lit only by the lights in the snack machines; a half-built house "like a rib cage around a lungful of sky" - and the results linger long in the memory. The Selected Short Fiction of Lisa Moore shows us that love, alongside desire, can sometimes come as a surprise, sometimes an ambush. She splices moments and images together so adroitly, so vividly, you'll swear you've lived them yourself. This new volume, bringing together Lisa Moore’s first two books of stories, Open and Degrees of Nakedness, is the very best way to encounter one of the finest short-story writers in the country. This edition features a brilliant new introduction by Jane Urquhart on the importance of Moore’s work.

The definitive monograph on innovative American painter Lisa Yuskavage Lisa Yuskavage is one of the most acclaimed living painters. Known for her highly original approach to figurative painting, Yuskavage challenges conventional understandings of the genre. At times playful and at other times rueful, her bold, eccentric, exhibitionist, and introspective characters inhabit fantastical and vivid compositions, assuming the dual role of subject and object. Although inspired by popular culture, the artist’s technique is deeply rooted in the history of painting, establishing an underlying tension between polar opposites such as high and low, sacred and profane, harmony and dissonance. Yuskavage’s first proper monograph features more than 150 color images, including never-before-seen photographs of her studio, along with insightful text contributions from Barry Schwabsky, Lena Dunham, and Ariel Levy.
