Sinopsis:

Críticas: Bernhardt's super-optical fabulous-monsters ... shattered one of the last taboos of women's art: to paint messy, expressionistic, garish things.--Jerry Saltz "Vulture "

The artist's raucous compositions read more like butt-dialed emojigrams...Bernhardt's lexicon indulges a pronounced nostalgia for the Day-Glo disposables of the late 1980s and early 90s-- curly-corded telephones, Sharpies, Rubiks Cubes, ChapStick tubes, Pac-Man, Papa Smurf...This rollicking volume supplements more than one hundred pattern paintings.--Kate Sutton "Bookforum "
