Object Label:
Show Object Label(s)Audrey Flack (b. 1931, American) pioneering the art genre of photorealism in her paintings and photography draws inspiration from Pop, Baroque and early still-life painting. As a photographer working in the classical tradition of arranging still lifes—used by artists as a tool in achieving greater detail and effects that were not possible with live models—Flack’s imagery celebrates life while also serving as a memorial. Although she largely created photographs and prints as the basis for her paintings, Flack’s Madonna lithograph serves as an individual work of art.
