Judith Eisler

Judith Eisler (born 1962) is an artist based in Vienna, Austria and Warren, CT.

Judith Eisler is a painter who gathers source imagery from watching films and photographing stills from the footage. Eisler's works typically have glossy surfaces and feature blurred imagery and light defined as substance. Descended from Pop art and Photorealism, her fluid paint-handling incorporates elements of James Rosenquist’s billboard fuzziness and Marilyn Minter’s bracing aggressiveness.[1] Since 2009, Eisler has been a professor of painting at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (Die Angewandte), Austria. She received her BFA from Cornell University in 1984.

gollark: While I am obviously very late to this, I see absolutely nothing wrong with using people's work for free if they literally released it so people could use it for free under a license allowing people to use it for free.
gollark: Also, it's mildly irritating that you have to re-parse `Date`s on the other end.
gollark: A binary format would be somewhat more space-efficient and avoid the hassle of base64ing binary blobs, and lossily parsing and stringifying floats.
gollark: It's kind of a shame everything ended up going with *JSON*, of all things, since it's such a bad serialization format in many ways.
