sintesi del comunicato stampa

Fashion Illustration Gallery presents a collection of works created by artist illustrator Richard Bernstein (1939-2002) for the cover of Andy Warhol's Interview Magazine. Bernstein was a longtime member of the Warhol circle, and his classically idealised portraits of up-and-coming celebrities of the 1970s and 80s made them look glamorous and forever young. Bernstein made the up-and-coming celebrities of the 70s and 80s such as Sylvester Stallone, Calvin Klein, Mick Jagger, Diana Ross, Diane Lane, Susan Sarandon et al, look sleek, sexy, glamorous and forever young. For some appearing on the cover of Interview provided more than just fifteen minutes of fame; it certified them and made their careers. With his use of photographs heavily retouched with paint, pencil, and pastel, Bernstein monumentalized his subjects. His classically idealized portraits, with their roots in Renaissance portraiture, have a distinct three-dimensional quality because of his use of cutouts, which he called his stencils. His portraits are airbrushed painted and chalked-over photo portraits by photographers such as Albert Watson and Herb Ritts. The FIG Summer Show 2014 also presents the opportunity for FIG fans to see paintings, drawings and prints by FIG artists and for the first time works by artists Peter Turner and Clym Evernden who are both new to the gallery.
