Elizabeth Peyton

Flowers Diaghilev, 2009

As the title suggests, this etching by American artist Elizabeth Peyton is a still life arrangement of a vase of flowers in full bloom and a book connected with the Ballets Russes founder Sergei Diaghilev. Also present on the book’s cover is the name Boris Kochno, a dancer, friend, collaborator and lover of Diaghilev. Inspired by poetry, literature, interiors and photographs, this edition was based on a work from Peyton’s solo exhibition at IMMA in 2009

    Elizabeth Peyton

    American artist Elizabeth Peyton came to prominence in the 1990s as one of the few young artists exploring figurative painting. Combining the historic and contemporary, her inspirations include William Shakespeare, 19th-century Romantic authors, Nouvelle Vague filmmakers of the 1960s and musicians Patti Smith and Bob Dylan. A major retrospective of Peyton’s work was held at the New Museum in New York in 2009. She was the subject of a solo exhibition at IMMA in the same year.
