Audrey Flack

This painting was done by Audrey Flack, it is called "Marilyn (Vanitas)". This was an oil painting. Her being a realism painter, took images to create an image that looked almost like a photograph or portrait. I love how real it does look. It has so many fine details. I also love the repetition throughout the painting. With the repetition of the face, and the colors, this really allows the eye to move around the painting. I could only wish to paint this well. Everything looks like you could just pick it off of the page, almost making you look twice to make sure that this is a painting and not a photograph. The realism of this work makes me enjoy looking at and trying to find something new everytime.
