Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, in partnership with Artspace and Phaidon, is pleased to announce a new limited-edition silkscreen by preeminent contemporary artist Henry Taylor to benefit the School.
For nearly forty years, Henry Taylor has depicted the world around him, often in compelling images of diverse subjects from family and friends to celebrities, politicians, or strangers. Combining flat planes of color with areas of generous detail and loose brushstrokes, his new limited-edition print, like his paintings, radiates with life.
Intimately engaged with art history, Taylor’s work recalls the provocative and transformational paintings of artists like Philip Guston and Pablo Picasso. In 2022 - 2024, the expansive retrospective exhibition Henry Taylor: B Side traveled from MOCA Los Angeles to The Whitney in New York garnered countless glowing reviews.

Taylor is known for creating empathetic portraits that present holistic, complex, and deeply human narratives. ‘It’s about respect because I respect these people. It’s a two-dimensional surface, but they are really three-dimensional beings.’
“As long as there are artists like Henry Taylor around, painting is in little danger of dying.”
— Roberta Smith, The New York Times
