Full view of red painting in back. The slicing of space by screen-like backlighting is a new development in the work
For many years, perhaps forever, Yuskavage works up small studies in larger compositions. These studies have an informal sense about them and a looseness in the paint that is compelling, as is the color.

Deliciously weird nests of lines
A sense of release, simplification
