Daria Deshuk & Eric Fischl
For Daria “To The Future” Eric Fischl
I was not going to miss and I didn’t, getting a personally signed copy of Eric’s book. I have admired his work , especially since he is one artist that embraced the figure in painting in the 80's and inspired many artists back to painting the figure and gave me a reference to my own work at the time . (Apposed to conceptual art theory being taught in the art school system ," the figure is dead" ) Thank you Eric for keeping the figure alive!

Written by Eric Fischl and A.M. Homes
About the Book
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.
