            Dana Schutz is an American artist who is known for her efforts in painterly translating intangible concepts into dynamic compositions. The artist’s works are mainly figurative and gestural concepts which take on the specific themes such as that of culture. Moreover, it is also a fact that her works have implemented fictive subjects created by the artist with an aim of responding to the primary occurrences available in the world.
