Born and raised until age seven in Brooklyn, New York and then in Belleport, Long Island in genteel upper class surroundings, George Tooker became a figure painter whose work reflects both his privileged circumstances and understanding of those less comfortable. His subjects, often of mixed sexual and racial features, are often obscured by heavy clothing and appear sagging and shapeless, trapped within their own dull worlds.

Some critics have described his style as "magic realism," but he (showing 500 of 2655 characters).
