Summary edit

Description

Painting by Tony Phillips, Humble Supplicant (oil on canvas, 25" x 21", 1987). The painting illustrates the main body of work in American artist Tony Phillips's career, his oil drawings, which combine painterly, soft modeling, realistic if fantastical representation and sometimes-dark psychological explorations. His paintings often expose invisible personal inclinations and desires, anxieties and misapprehensions through enigmatic scenarios involving figures or chimeric creatures, landscapes and weather events, as in this work. This work and similar works were publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed in major art journals and daily press publications, and acquired by museums.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a major body of work from throughout Tony Phillips's career: his oil drawings which emerge out of spontaneous drawing derived from imagination, memory, psychoanalytic investigation and casual observation, gradually explored with greater conscious consideration. They often expose invisible personal inclinations and desires, anxieties and misapprehensions portrayed through enigmatic scenarios involving figures (often a ubiquitous, vulnerable surrogate character), chimeric creatures, landscapes and weather events. His work often employs imaginative orchestrations of space, form and logic and strange, discordant rhythms with a dreamlike, sometimes foreboding ambiguity. Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this key, longstanding body of work. Phillips's work of this type and this work is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
