Nude on Green Cushion 1965

"Nude on Green Cushion" (1965) by Philip Pearlstein, is a painting that exemplifies Pearlstein's signature style of realist figure painting. The artwork portrays a female nude reclining on a green cushion, with a simplified, almost geometric, approach to the form. Pearlstein's work often features the human figure in a stark, unemotional manner, emphasizing the physicality and the structure of the body, creating a sense of detachment and objectivity in the subject matter.
