Postcard featuring artwork by Nicole : Nicole Eisenman, Another Green World, , oil on canvas, x in. ( x cm), The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, purchased with funds provided by the Acquisition and Collection Committee. 5 x 7 inches Printed in Los AngelesA couple years ago, I visited the Museum of Contemporary Art in LA and fell in love with a painting. It&#;s depicts the end of a house party with everyone sort of tenderly and drunkenly enjoying each other. It&#;s lovely and nuanced and I could write a whole new piece on just this painting by Nicole Eisenman, but the point is there is a group of people on the couch in the center of the painting playing a vinyl of Brian Eno&#;s &#;Another Green World&#;.
It was such an interesting idea to me for a visual artist to create an entire painting centered around an album they loved dearly. It felt like getting a music recommendation directly from the artist. So I sat down and listened to the album.
I knew about the existence of Brian Eno, but mostly because he produced David Bowie&#;s best albums and made a bunch of famous ambient music. Before all of that, though, he made a handful of &#;70s rock albums with King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp. Another Green World falls right in the center of that timeline as the final album before the famous Music for Airports and allllll of his ambient music that followed. I&#;m telling you all this context because AGW has a bit of everythi
Out of the Weeds: Nicole Eisenman on How Boredom Fuels Her Art
A little surreal, a little subversive, very funny, often obscene – the artist discusses how the current season of isolation has impacted her work
People love to play a round of art-historical I Spy when they encounter a Nicole Eisenman painting. Her multidecade career synthesises everything from German expressionism and social realism to comic books and TV culture, sometimes incorporating multiple styles within the same canvas. It resists categorisation yet, like porn, you know it when you see it. A little surreal, a little subversive, very funny, often obscene. Her paintings blend social chronicle with commentary and feature a recurring cast of friends and lovers, but strangers, when they appear, are depicted with the rare warmth of intimacy. I imagine she must be a tremendous people-watcher and wonder how the current season of isolation has impacted her practice.
Speaking over the phone from Brooklyn, Eisenman says that not much has changed: she makes the short bike ride to her studio and carries on uninterrupted, making work, quietly, by herself every day. Mentally, however, it’s a different story. “You go
Nicole Eisenman: Another Green World Puzzle
$ Member Price: $
Immerse yourself in this puzzle based on the work Another Green World by Nicole Eisenman.
In Another Green World, Nicole Eisenman depicts party goers in various states of repose after a seemingly raucous scene. Two men slow dance while other figures eat, drink, converse, lounge, cuddle, kiss, and prop each other up. Many of the characters are of indeterminate age, gender, and ethnicity. This stirring depiction of leisure contains moments of love, friendship, and contemplation. The work shares its title with the Brian Eno album, which the figure near the center of the canvas peruses. Armed with a sharp wit and keen awareness of art history - namely 19th century leisure activities, baroque group portraits, and classical bacchanalia - Eisenman offers viewers a playful but exacting take on the contemporary moment.

Nicole Eisenman’s Green World
In her studio, Nicole Eisenman and I are looking at a painting of her friends Grace Dunham and Willa Nasatir, in which the two are embracing in a tender, shared, casual moment of love under a swirling galaxy shot on the wall by a projector atop a milk crate. You don’t get this level of comfort except among friends; the love is shared with each other but radiating across to the painter, who is certainly part of the embrace. Grace’s gaze is informing, divulging, quietly butch. It’s a knowable heaven of distance, proximity, and imperfection.
The exact way of knowing the world that you do with a friend is the theme of much of Eisenman’s new work. In May, she has two shows: Anton Kern Gallery will exhibit these new, relational, mostly lesbian works, and then there’s a larger survey of Eisenmania at the New Museum called 'Al-ugh-ories.' (When they proposed 'Allegory' as the title of the show, Eisenman added the 'ugh' as her kind of assent. Like an anti-formalist kind of acceptance. Her messy Zen.)
Weirdly, I had bumped into Grace, who is a writer, the week before I visited Eisenman, as we were boarding a plane. 'Hey, I want to write you about sitti
