Lisa Yuskavage (nata nel 1962) è nota per i suoi dipinti distintivi e provocatori che ritraggono donne simili a bambole su sfondi dai colori saturi. Nata e cresciuta a Filadelfia, in Pennsylvania, Yuskavage ha studiato alla Tyler School of Art della Temple University e successivamente ha conseguito il Master of Fine Arts presso la Yale School of Art nel 1986.
L’opera di Yuskavage fa riferimento a impulsi formali quali il barocco, il manierismo e la pittura Colour Field, mentre la sua tematica si avventura con audacia nel tabù, esplorando questioni quali il desiderio, la lussuria e la sessualità. I suoi dipinti sfidano le nozioni convenzionali di bellezza e femminilità, abbracciando un approccio più trasgressivo e contemporaneo. La tecnica pittorica di Yuskavage segue un processo lento, in cui l’artista costruisce la superficie della tela con la massima cura e ponderatezza. Maneggia la pittura con estrema raffinatezza, una tecnica che condivide con il suo contemporaneo John Currin.
L’esplorazione della forma umana da parte della pittrice Lisa Yuskavage ha riscosso il plauso della critica. Nel 2007 Christie’s ha venduto il suo dipinto Night (1999–2000) per 1.384.000 dollari USA, un record mondiale d’asta per l’artista. Le sue opere sono ampiamente esposte in musei di tutto il mondo, tra cui il Whitney Museum of American Art e il Museum of Modern Art di New York.
