His early work passed though the styles of impressionism, Orphism, Dada, Surealism, and verbal and visual collagel his later art extended from composition that superimpose linear painted
figures upon one another (and, sometimes,
several of those on apinted ground), to painting based on pinup
nudes and commercial illustrations and, finally, to coarse, heavily textured canvases that depict totems, masks and shields.
In light of the complexities of tackling a number of unfamiliar and highly technical media, Eisenman was wise to stick to familiar subject matter — the works convey disaffected drinking scenes, surrealistic / expressionistic portraits and
nudes, and the occasional macabre
figure that have been features of her work over the past
several years — albeit with a fresh perspective.
