Sofa, So Good: Where Yuskavage Meets VuillardHe’s the painter and onetime Nabi whose multi-hued, multi-patterned interiors, populated by a coterie of urbane friends and patrons, are featured in a current show at New York’s Jewish Museum. She’s the painter of provocative figures, particularly outlandish undressed females, that play with convention and expectations. So just what about Edouard Vuillard does Lisa Yuskavage find so mesmerizing?Find out this Thursday, when Yuskavage reveals to Jewish Museum chief curator Norman Kleeblatt how she was seduced and influenced by the French master’s work. The public chat is sure to be revealing—one way or another.Left: Edouard Vuillard, “Marcelle Aron (Madame Tristan Bernard),” 1914. Courtesy The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Gift of Alice C.

Today I had the privilege of working with Dara, Sonya and Hollie at an Access Workshop for people 18+. I’ve worked with this kind of group before, but today I went a little crazy making my own project alongside those who attended the workshop. We made our own papercut portrait background inspired by the Kehinde Wiley portraits in the museum. With just paper, scissors and dot paints, every person created a masterpiece and had their portrait taken. Here’s a photo of how my background looked when completed, I had so much fun making it!
P.S. One of the attendees remembered my name and who I was from a workshop two years ago - AMAZING!!
