Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A gorgeous, hilarious and beguiling artists book by Katherine Bernhardt. Bernhardt excels at vivid imagery with, as The New Yorker noted "slashing brushstrokes and dripping, vivid color ... used to depict images of women". Bernhardt herself compiled this volume as a collection of her work about fashion models and celebrities. Her paintings sit next to their inspirations: a vivacious but cutting portrait of Kate Moss sits across from its source photograph, and the stuff of fashion magazines - Bernhardt's main source - is treated with as much care as Bernhardt's own paintings. Both the body of work and its roots are explored in detail. Also included is a photo-tour of Bernhardt's studio, candid snapshots, and two revealing essays by Nick Stillman and Lisa Ruyter."--BOOK JACKET.
