Signed, titled and dated 'David Salle Pastoral with Nude 1999' on the reverse.
Lehmann Maupin, New York
Gagosian Gallery, New York
David Salle has taken the device of pastiche, which is central to modern art, and made it both the form and content of his work. His canvases are populated with dramatic images lifted from sources as various as his own black-and-white photographs, eighteenth through twentieth century French and American painting, print advertising from the fifties, and 'how to draw' manuals. Their juxtaposition gives his paintings a mystery and charge which intrigued the art world in the eighties and made him, along with Julian Schnabel, the 'stars' of what is known as 'postmodern' or 'neo-expressionist' art. Salle's paintings capture impressions of the detached observer, where intellectualism and eroticism are gathered, interwoven and implied, but never inserted by the artist into a comfortable vision of a coherent universe. In this way he reflects the ongoing modern preoccupation with the problem of reconciling one's individuality with the constant input of images and ideas from the outside, media-dominated world.
