"David Salle"

David Salle (Norman, United States, 1952) is one of the most important American painters to
enter the scene in the early 80s. His work played an influential part in the resurgence at that
time of large-scale figurative painting. Salle, like many artists of his generation, has
accumulated a rich visual vocabulary inspired by countless images. Adapting scenes from art
history, advertising design and popular culture-to name only a few of his sources-he creates a
combination of diverse cultural references.
Each of his works purposely overshadows the
coherent linear narrative by juxtaposing unlike elements, reflecting the complex mass-media
production that dominates contemporary human experience.
The retrospective, organized by the Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam, brings together some fifty works
offering a broad panorama of this artist's career from his earlier years until now.
