"It's hard to alight on a response to Lisa Yuskavage's paintings. . . her typologies of formal painting conventions and of the consumerized female body are inseparable from one another, and their interactions produce an ever-increasing complexity: trapped between the familiar and the newly estranged, you keep looping from admiration to irritation, innocent pleasure to revulsion." -BOOKFORUM
