TASTE By Bridget R. Cooks, Ph.D.

Emily Eveleth’s paintings are about desire. They excite viewers with promises of sticky, sweet, immediate moments of pleasure. Saturated in powdery whites, bubblegum pinks, and golden browns, her paintings stun and seduce. Her old master approach to painting the subject ma!er is so textured and her surfaces are so luscious that viewers may at first forget that they are simply looking at pictures of donuts. They will instead be distracted by visceral responses to the sensuality of her brushstrokes, glazes, and thick, cavernous curves. These exaggerated forms become almost carnal when they are transformed into an Eveleth painting. Light and fluffy or full and oozing, Eveleth’s donuts embody the things viewers want but are not supposed to have. They challenge viewers to resist gratification, and they simultaneously invite them to succumb to their urges. In her most recent set of paintings, Eveleth for the first time includes pa!erned elements in her compositions. These embellished se!ings signal her consideration of donuts in terms of class. She places them in decorative environments to explore their relationship, in both flavor and style, to taste. Eveleth has turned to the rococo period of art history to explore questionable tastes in painting. For example, the eighteenth-century French artist François Boucher painted in an ornate style that has long been dismissed for registering below discriminating aesthetic taste. With feathery brushstrokes that characterize the rococo, he rendered ethereal scenes of cheerful figures in lush landscapes. Eveleth, however, reconsiders the theatrical element in Boucher’s work, which welcomes viewers into a frivolous, stylized world of sensuality. She harnesses this performative flair to emphasize the drama and artificiality of donuts in new interior spaces.

Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, Madame du Barry, 1782. Oil on canvas, 45 1⁄4 x 35 1⁄4 inches (114.94 x 89.54 cm). Corcorn Collection (William A. Clark Collection).

The classic varieties of these pastries are popular across socio-economic registers. However, Eveleth’s donuts are working class and in this series they seem to want to be more. In Mme. Du Barry, the floral motif of the white silk brocade brings a measure of elegance and refinement to the pair of pink frosted donuts. They become items of feminine luxury in front of the ornamental background. The reflective surface beneath them provides the opportunity for vanity and confirms the donuts’ presence as something to be looked at. Here, the donuts fulfill their aspirations to be beautiful objects. Arranged in front of the decadent fabric, the pair lie in a leisurely manner, like an odalisque waiting to be a!ended to. The title of the painting refers to Jeanne Bécu, Comtesse du Barry, the last maîtresse-entitre of King Louis XV in late-eighteenth-century France. She was an illegitimate child born into an impoverished economic milieu. She worked as a prostitute—a past that her critics used to damn her—before being chosen by the king to serve as his official mistress. Eveleth denotes Bécu’s rise in status from poor beginnings to royal wealth through the object choices and the background design of her

painting. In a different environment, the Barbie pink donuts may lend themselves to associations with dollhouse dreams of girlhood. Eveleth’s impasto brushstrokes and delicately stenciled edges, however, signal an affluent identity and expensive tastes. Contemporary portraits of Madame Du Barry, such as the portrait by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun in 1782, were painted in the rococo style that intrigues Eveleth. Mme. du Barry retains the dreamy quality that is the style’s hallmark. The painting cultivates a taste in the viewers for the flavor of the donuts, as the donuts demonstrate their cultivated taste for the finer things in life. The life-size scale of Mme. du Barry is modest compared with the scale of Eveleth’s painting An Outing. Its tumbled stack of icing-covered donuts presses against and nearly fills the painting’s foreground. Eveleth sourced the colors for this painting from Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s rococo painting, The Swing (1767). His figurative work revels in excessive decadence and sensuality. A wide-eyed young woman seated on a gold and red velvet-roped swing soars in the air above a young

male suitor. Layers of her frilly pink gown fill with air at the center of the painting and billow in the breeze. Enraptured, she raises her le' leg to kick off her mule and thrill her suitor with a glance beneath her pe!icoat. The couple’s transgressive behavior is reflected by the agitated dog at the feet of the man pulling the swing, and the shocked expressions of the Pu!i statuary in the untamed and overgrown garden. A statue of Cupid si!ing above the suitor hushes the dog with a shushing gesture, supporting the flirtatious interlude. Eveleth was inspired to begin her composition by a fabric that embraces artifice: a pink and gold zebra-striped pa!ern that was already a vibrant reimagining of the animal’s coat. She manipulated the pa!ern further by changing its pale!e to the spruce green and gray of Fragonard’s playful landscape. The result combines the artificiality of the donuts with the artificiality of the fabric’s bold pa!ern. Like the excessive style and theatrical scene of Fragonard’s painting, An Outing dares viewers to enjoy its temptation. 6

Eveleth continues to blur the lines between her objects and their environment in Persuasion, in which three donuts rest compressed, heavy with jelly. Their shadowy orifices gently ooze over their sides creating a syrupy, viscous tower. The visual difference between the donuts and their background becomes porous, as each takes on a!ributes of the other. The gray and white ground behind the stack mixes with streaks of brown li'ed from the donuts’ baked dough. Curvilinear brushstrokes highlight their glazed surface and mimic the movement of a large brocade design in the painting’s background. The floral motif is partially wiped away by a wide sweeping stroke that traces the donuts’ rotund silhoue!e. Eveleth’s paintings of groups of donuts suggest relationships among them. Her paintings of single donuts take on the a!ributes of portraiture: The object is the sole focus of the work and has a self-awareness of how it wants to be seen. For example, in Our Lady of the Flowers the viewer is immediately aware that the thick, sugary donut wants to engage with the viewer. The dark hole in its side exposes a deep red interior that exudes a sweet filling. Its stark chromatic contrast limns the donut’s bo!om edge. The precious, sickly sweet confection is enhanced

by the pastel colors of the floral pa!ern behind it. Eveleth borrowed the print from a black and white Lilly Pulitzer clothing fabric for women and girls. Changed to a pink and turquoise pa!ern, the bright design becomes a vivid expression of spring. Vertical drips temper the blossoms by blurring their so' edges. The drips’ allusion to decay suggests a contemporary vanitas for contemplating the cycle of life and death. The titles for Our Lady of the Flowers and Eveleth’s similar composition, Diary of a Thief, reference the 1943 erotic novel and the 1944 memoir (whose title is usually rendered in English as The Thief’s Journal) by the French philosopher and author Jean Genet. Eveleth’s paintings jibe with themes of pleasure, self-indulgence, and danger in Genet’s works. Their loose and wet appearance is influenced by the freedom of expression modeled by Genet and his characters. Eveleth’s works range in size from a few inches square to over seven feet in height. She gives each painting the same amount of space on the gallery walls, allowing viewers to engage with the paintings on equal terms. This exhibition includes several very small paintings that offer multiple views of donuts on a single plane. Crush (2023) present a pair of donuts in the middle ground and a convex detail of their points of convergence in the foreground. The fish-eye effect distorts their appearance; it’s as if viewers see them through a peephole or magnifying glass. Through these up-close and intimate views, the donuts become performers who tantalize the senses and await the responses of their viewers, who are now positioned as voyeurs. Maybe it’s the confidence of these familiar forms that makes them so a!ractive. Whether freshly frosted or in various state of crumbling, they want to be looked at. Sometimes viewers catch them admiring their reflections in polished surfaces. Their doubles become abstract forms, as if they were icebergs or mountains mirrored by the sea. Dramatic lighting eggs on their performances. They take the stage and embody the epic proportions of the things they could have been. With serious humor, Eveleth treats these ordinary delights with a reverence reserved for high-art portraits and still lifes. Her si!ers rise to the occasion by

eagerly showing, without shame, just what they are. Eveleth does not depict them confined within their original packaging of greyish-brown boxes or waxy white bags. Nor are they kept at a distance beneath the glass of a baker’s showcase. These donuts have been lovingly moved to environments where they can shine. Through this thoughtful treatment, they become the protagonists of their own narratives. They exercise the freedom to emote and capture the a!ention they think they so richly deserve.
