Description
Oil
and
acrylic
on
canvas
.
“Salle
has
cultivated
a
very
urbane
way
of
representing
stereotypes
,
taken
from the
mass
media
and the
world
of
art
,
which
has
affinities
with
Jasper
Johns’
early
classicism
,
such
as the
Target
with
Boxes
.
Parts
of the
human
body
,
usually
the
erogenous
zones
, are
fragmented
and
recombined
in a
diptych
as
part
of an
enigmatic
collage
. The
Cruelty
of the
Father
,
1983
,
shows
poses
taken
from
‘How
to
Draw’
manuals
and
mass-circulation
magazines
like
Penthouse
,
overlaid
with
splotches
of
abstraction
and a
nervous
map
outline
; this
is
then
contrasted
with the
representation
of a
Joan
Crawford
head
stuck
unnaturally
on
top
of the
water
, as if
left
there by an
absent-minded
swimmer.”
