Beautiful book on enigmatic artist,

This review is from: Elizabeth Peyton: Portrait of an Artist (Hardcover)
Elizabeth Peyton wants her art to speak for itself. This book does exactly that. With gorgeous color photos of her best work to date (2005), this monograph (compiled by the artist) takes the reader chronologically through Peyton's career beginning with drawings from the early 90's. In the 250+ pages of the book, there are only three pages of an interview with Peyton herself, and those pages are like a gift. The minimal remaining text is primarily reprinted exhibition reviews and one creative short story. (Warhol would be pleased: "I never read. I just look at pictures.") Seeing so many of Peyton's paintings up close makes the reader fall in love with the work as one tries to pinpoint what makes her portraits so captivating and outstanding in their genre.
