This painting is by John Currin. It is called Park City Grill. He painted in 2000. The piece is oil paint on 38"x30" canvas.
I think that this piece is awesome. It was in the chairs and binoculars show/room. I have seen John Currin's work before, so it was exciting for me to see one of his pieces in the Walker (even if i did have to look at it through the binoculars). I was attracted to his painting, being a painter myself, for obvious reasons. His paintings are so smooth and realistically painted. His proportions are exaggerated which reminds me of old pieces in the past that distorted the human figure.
