Comments: Calling himself a "post-abstract realist," he is best-known for his monumental nudes. Pearlstein's nudes are usually shown under harsh lightingóas unidealized objects, and arranged in awkward, unsensuous poses or cut off in some way by the frame. Teaching: Pratt Inst., 1959-63; Brooklyn College, 1963-70s.
