Brodbeck, Anna Katherine. CECILY BROWN: Themes and Variations. 160 pages with 70 color and b&w plates. Folio, cloth. New Haven, Yale University Press, 2024. This volume surveys the career of Cecily Brown (b. 1969), one of the most celebrated artists working in painting today. In particular, it explores her process through paintings and drawings that demonstrate both her contemporaneity and her reassessment of historical precedents such as old master paintings and abstract expressionism, which have been consistent hallmarks of her art. The book's essays look at her practice, investigate the main themes that recur in Brown's work, and consider her art from a feminist perspective.
