    The long tradition of figurative work at PAFA makes it an especially exciting place to examine the role that figuration plays in twenty-first century art. From Bill Viola’s Oceans Without a Shore (2007), a recent addition to the Academy’s collection, to Lisa Yuskavage’s Triptych (2011), a tour de force of figurative-based painting today, Matthew Palczynski explores why the figure continues to magnetically appeal to such a wide variety of artists.
