About The Clemente Family

“The Clemente Family,” created by Eric Fischl in 2005, is an exemplary piece of Contemporary Realism that falls under the genre of portraiture. The artwork captures a family grouping with distinct attention to detail and realism typical of Fischl’s style, evident in the nuanced expressions and varied postures of the subjects.

In the artwork, six individuals are depicted, their figures articulated with a blend of realistic detail and painterly abstraction. Positioned indoors, they command attention through their diverse poses and confident, serene expressions. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, with the artist employing a warm, golden hue, suggesting the glow of late afternoon sunlight streaming through an unseen window. The clothing styles and hues range from muted tones to striking contrasts, enhancing their individuality while contributing to the artwork’s cohesive composition. The familial ties and collective presence are accentuated, evoking a sense of intimacy and narrative within their shared space.
