Where Brown and Thomas dissolve bodies into paint or assemble them in an accumulation of materials, Ellen Altfest (b. 1970, New York, NY) upholds painterly verisimilitude, built by looking incredibly intently at the thing to be transcribed. Altfest paints from life, concentrating on the minutest details – single strands of hair, individual pores, follicles or fine veins – and framing them at near range. She lavishes equal notice on her male subjects, often presented in poses that mimic those of classic female nudes, or single body parts presented for inspection or delectation, as in the trompe l’oeil The Penis (2006).[157]
